Hi! I'm new here and am looking for a beta to read in particular, a novella I wrote. I also have other works in progress but we can start there. I am willing to read your work as well. I'm looking for someone who can be a good critic but also understanding of the genre. Spelling/grammar a plus but not necessary. Just looking or feedback and possibly someone to bounce ideas with. PM me or email me at jsamazon13 at gmail dot com.

You'll have an easier time finding someone who will beta your work once you've been here a while longer.

You might find this thread enlightening.

Best of luck with your work.

Behind you!
That linked post has such pathos, and is written with lyricism galore!

Maryn, joking

if you want to send me an e-mail at bethfred08(at)gmail.com, I might be interested in beta reading for you. I just need more info like what the book is about, how long it is, and how quickly you need it back. Also, I have to tell you, I do catch a lot of things w/ grammar but that's usually a second read. What I do w/ my CP is read it, return it, receive corrections, and the second time I pay closer attention to grammar.

Hiya :)

I'll have a read, if you like! I'm pretty good with grammar, etc. and I enjoy all sorts of Fantasy. Just pop an email over to andelana636 [AT] yahoo dot co dot uk, if you want, with a note about how detailed you want me to be and what stage you're at in the process of prepping it to send around (like, second draft or finished first draft or whatever). I am constructive in my criticism and I can find good things about almost everything I read, but I'm honest, too, so if something doesn't work or I think it needs some remediation, I'm going to tell you. :)
