Troim-Kryzl

If and when Troim resumes work on dime novels, a call for beta readers will be published here. Currently, there are no projects.

How does this work?

No formal qualification required, you only need to pretend you’re an avid reader with a libertarian streak* to get 100 Euros** for reading Troim’s work in progress. 

Sounds too good to be true? Yep, good guess.

Life being the sucker we all know it is, you’re expected to deliver something in return. This template will provide you with the details:

Editorial Assessment Template

Looks like easy enough money? Great, welcome on board! Please drop us a comment with your contact details (no need to worry about spam, these won’t get displayed on the page).

Once Troim’s WIP is ready for assessment

• the admin contacts you to check if you’re available,
• a mode of payment  is defined*** and
• an agreement on a timeline is reached.
• You get your 100 Euros (yep, in advance) and
• are granted access to the WIP.
• You read the WIP and deliver your assessment or
• don’t follow up, crawl under a rock and die of shame.

*Conservative beta readers tend to experience Troim fiction as the opposite of an echo chamber. White supremacists and LGBTQ haters, please do us and yourself the favour not to apply.

**Why 100 Euros? The basis is the Nigerian minimum wage, as in 70.000 Naira, plus a cost of living adjustment, because this minimum wage is not a living wage. As good a benchmark as any, don’t you think? Oh, you’re OECD-based. Well, that’s bad luck, for once.

*** For the EU, PayPal will be used. For Nigeria, money transfer method of choice is WorldRemit, meaning you need to have access to a bank account. The admin will be ask you to provide the name of the bank, the full name of the account holder, the account number, an address and a mobile phone number. Once again no need to worry, we’re very protective of sensitive data, both our own and yours.
