    Beta Reading Beta Reader Sought

    Discussion in 'Collaboration' started by ShannonH, Nov 10, 2021.

    Hey guys,

    I'm looking for a Beta Reader, initially for the first three chapters of my latest novel, a private detective story with paranormal leanings.

    I'm looking for critique and feedback, feelings about the characters, the setting and how the story is developing.

    Happy to offer a beta read in return for a work of approximate equal length to what I'm looking reviewed.

    hi I'd be happy to help with this if you want - I'm due to start a new job any day now but I'm sure I could turn 3 chapters round (especially if I can start in the next few hours)

    one of my WIPs is at 2nd draft with family readers - it has some true-life/survivor-biographical sequences about a criminal, so if I could share just a couple of those chunks with you I'd be delighted

    I have not been on the site for awhile. I am up to a beta read. I have nothing right now to share, but I have time for a good read to get me back in the flow of the site again. You can message me if you want my help.

    I came late to your post but if you haven't already received feedback, I'd be happy to offer alpha and beta comments. Can't ask you to give me feedback on my novel because I don't have the required 100 posts.

    Thank you to everyone who has read and offered feedback so far.

    If you still need beta readers, count me in. Seems like my kind of stuff.

    Just to prevent any further misunderstandings, the Chapters are readable and open for comments on Google Docs. I don't feel comfortable posting the text here.

    Didn't realise that might be an issue before today.
