Soapdish- I got one reader for that piece, but would be more than happy to take a look at yours! Feel free to send me a PM when completed to remind me, I'll send you my e-mail.

I have a 5000-word story I'd like a fresh set of eyes for. I'd say it's along the lines of literary horror. If anyone is willing to swap, please PM me. Thanks!

Is anyone able to do a quick turnaround on a science fiction flash piece, just under 600 words?

I'll reciprocate, of course! Thanks!

[snip:filled!] (And thanks to Eliza, Fihr and O'Dandelo for help shaping it. Conversely, if the fourth beta hates it they can also put some blame on Eliza, Fihr and O'Dandelo).

Would you mind trading? I've a scifi just shy of 2K, dystopian more than anything.

Hi, I'm pretty new to W1/S1 and I didn't know this thread was here. I'm looking for a beta for a 1500w MG short. It's what I would call lighthearted fantasy. I would be more than happy to trade. Thanks!

Offering beta services.

On a related note, looking for a beta reader on a 4,114 sci-fi piece. Doesn't have to be a trade, but I'm cool with that too.

Looking for anyone willing to read through a 1000 word humor/horror piece for me. Will definitely trade, all I ask is that you tear this piece apart. It's been given two rewrite requests by the same publisher, and I refuse to give up on it.

Does anyone have time for a quick-turnaround crit on a 3200-word horrorish story? Unfortunately, I have to submit this story tomorrow, so I'd need the crit around 24 hours from now. :/ But it's fairly close to ready.

I'm totally willing to do a swap and could return the favor quickly.

I have a 7,300 word sci-fi story that could use some betaing. I'd be willing to read over a story in return (or kill someone for you. Your choice).

Looking for one or two folks who might have the time or inclination to beta a 950-word piece. I'd be happy to trade.

I have a new story that I would love someone to take a look at. It is literary fiction. 3k words. It would be great if you read literary fiction and write it, too. I am willing to trade. Thanks.

Who has time to beta a 2500-ish word horror short?

Cutting it close as the deadline is this Friday and I'm out of town this week (bad timing on my part!) but if you can, PM or email me at maryrajotte[at]gmail :)
