Thanks for this! My first historical novel, Remnant, is about the daughter and sister of Olaudah Equiano, published April 2024. I’m in the beginning stages of a sequel, and I had an early- morning epiphany. I think I’d like to start a focus group. Initially I would share research findings, then a rough outline/plot, share excerpts along the way, and an ARC when it’s ready. That would probably be a 3-year commitment. I’m also a full-time English professor. Is that too ambitious?
