YA Contemporary Romance: Looking for Beta Reader

thejamesramos · Jun 8, 2014

Working title: Opposites Attract
YA contemporary romance
modern-day retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice
Word count: 78,000

This is the fourth draft of the manuscript, and I'm pretty well done with the editing and revising (at least for now).

I'm looking for someone (preferably who has read and/or is a fan of Pride and Prejudice) to give it a read and let me know what you think; pacing, dialogue, story, whether you enjoyed it, things like that.

I know 78,000 is fairly long, so if you'd like to read some or part of it, I wouldn't mind that either.

I'm willing to swap as well (YA romance, sci-fi, thrillers, mystery).

Thanks everyone!

I'm willing to beta it for you if you want. I've read P&P about 15 times. Yes, I'm a fan of the novel. PM and we can work something out.

If you still need another pair of eyes, I'd also be happy to help.

I've read Pride and Prejudice many times, and am actually almost done with yet another reread. Let me know!

I'd be honored! The more eyes the better I think.

Is it cool if I send you a private message?

Yes, definitely! Sorry for not clarifying that earlier.

I'd love to look

I would love to give your manuscript a read. I used to review YA books for publishers like HC and S&S so I'm fairly good at it.
