I am looking for Beta readers for my next novel (click on the graphic for a story summary).
This novel will run at around 65,000 words. I am looking for a reading period start of 9/12/2016, with all comments back 2-3 weeks later, 9/30/2016.
If this interests you, use the form below to join!
What do I ask of my Beta readers?
First, I provide you a story in eBook (Kindle or Epub) or other electronic (usually PDF) format. By the time you get it, I will consider this story mature–structured, no holes–but not perfect and in need of more eyeballs. Yours!
Your task, then, involves reading the story and letting me know what you like and don’t like. Tell me what in the story works and what doesn’t, what flows, what flops, and what confuses you. I’ll evaluate your inputs (submitted via email) and adjust the story accordingly.
If along the way you find typos or grammar errors, forward them as well. I will certainly appreciate it!
Finally, after I release the book, I’ll be askingbegging you for a review. A free copy of the eBook version will be available if you need it.
But your main mission is to help me determine what parts of the story work and which don’t.
Sound like fun? I hope so! Please use this form to join.
I didn’t receive a confirmation email regarding being a beta reader, just confirmation to be on your mailing list.
If there are still openings, I would love to help out by providing feedback about your new books. I read extensively, usually about 4 books a week.
Hope I can help,
Marianne
Thanks for signing up! Since you were already on my mail list, you were automatically confirmed. No need for extra emails and confirmation links. In other words, you’re in!
I would love to join. I am Loves to read and review. I also have read almost all of your books, so I am honored.
Toni – I’d love to have you on the team. I checked, and it looks like you’re all taken care of. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback, Toni! This is exactly the sort of feedback I treasure. By the way, this will be a contemporary world story. Do a bit of Googling on artificial intelligence when you get a chance…
Hi. I’m waiting for the confirmation email now :).
If you like I can give you links for works I’ve beta’d and reviews I have written plus I have reviews on my site.
I am excited to do this though since it’s something I love doing.
