I have finished the first draft of a Novella and I would really like a Beta Reader to help me do some revisions. Its kinda messed up right now and I'm a little lost. I'm pretty sure the thing has some potential though.

Hi, Michael,

Congratulations on completing your novella!

You may have more luck finding a 'taker' if you identify the genre/content. Mystery? Horror? YA? Sci-fi? Romance?

Ultimately you want to draw a beta reader/critique partner familiar with what you're writing.

well, Im not really sure on the Genre. I would say Fantasy I guess, but it really doesn't have any fantasy elements except its in a place that doesn't actually exist.

Michael, just a suggestion. Why don't you tell prospective betas a little of what your story is about? A brief, enticing summary would give people a better idea of whether or not it's something they'd be interested in.
