Mods: I'm not sure if this is the right category, feel free to change it if I've goofed.
Okay, I've beta'd a lot of fanfics, over a hundred or so, and I can get through roughly 350 pages/week.
Now I want to move into actual manuscripts. So I thought that I could turn this into profit. So I'm considering starting a professional beta reading service. Basically I beta read someone's MS, pick apart the plot and tell them what I like, what needs to change and what to burn with fire and they pay me a very low fee for it.
This isn't an editing service because I do not plan on doing LBLs or Proofing. Just reading the manuscript.
I'm a second semester English major and that's about my only qualification, aside from the fanfics. What I want to know is would this be a marketable website?
Please feel free to give your opinion.
Once again: Mod Squad, if this is the wrong category feel free to migrate it.
Thanks.
