Hi everybody. I'm Monica and I'm new to Absolute Write, although I've heard this is the site to go for writers. I'm 22 years old and I'm currently writing a YA paranormal romantic suspense novel. My manuscript is pretty rough and I'm currently looking for some beta readers, who aren't afraid to give me their honest opinion. In exchange I'm willing to critique others' work. Please let me know if you are interested.

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the 'forum jump' you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. After you post 50 posts you can use the SYW areas to get help there. The password for some of the areas is…..vista. A word to the wise, it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

When you have a chance, start a thread in this room and describe what you are looking for in beta readers. Keep in mind, though, that you will have a better chance at finding betas once you've been here a while longer and members get to know you better.

When you've reached fifty posts, you can also share your work here for critique. The password to enter that room is vista.

Good luck, and welcome to AW.
