Teenage betas?

Okay, so I did promise you a review this week, and well, I haven't delivered. **cheeks red** **holds head in shame** Yes, I'm still writing. I did do some brainstorming this week too. I think I have a way I want the story to go down, I just have to write it. This got me thinking. I have CPs and I'm lining up beta readers, but they are all about my age. I write Young Adult, you know that 12-18 age group, and I know a bunch of people who are out of this age group that read this lovely candy. I won't mention names or ages. :) But in the end, I'm targeting the 12-18 age group. Now, my baby must sound teenager when I write it so that's up to me in revisions. But what about finding a teenager to read it before I query?

So, I'm wondering if any of you have teenage beta readers. My kids are not teens and I don't have close contact with anyone in this bracket so where do I find one? I've seen a forum on YA Lit Chat. Has anyone tried this?

I'm not quite near needing one yet, but wondered if anyone has used a teen reader and how it's helped your MS.

I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but when I'm not writing I'm thinking of what I need to do to help it after (fingers crossed) it's finished.

I promise a review next week, and most likely I'll be on more of a hiatus. I need to get this baby done, and then head into revision prison for WiP #1. That baby needs lots and lots of work. Wow. Then if that all gets done, its on to query time. So scared.

Any weekend plans?

Have a great weekend!
