    • You can still volunteer to Beta for someone else; just please don't request someone to Beta for you until you're more familiar with the community and our members.

Beta Reader, ready and willing

I read anything ranging from splatter punk to fantasy; supernatural or horror elements are a preference. But I have also been known to devour the occasional light-hearted romance novel.

If you want someone to be a sensitivity reader, I could help you out on that front. If you don't ask for my opinion on such matters, I won't give it.

I saw an earlier thread where a person suggested sending them the first three chapters, and sending the rest only if the author found the quality of the feedback acceptable. I think this sounds like a good idea and would like to appropriate it.

I don't have any impressive experience to share with you. I am just an aspiring writer that wants to help other aspiring writers.

For the record, this kind of offer earns you the good will of a great many writers. I wish more such offers were posted.

Maryn, who's taken a liking to you

I'm looking for a beta reader. I have a novel that I classify as Adult Contemporary Fantasy. Or Paranormal. It's 127,000 words. Yes, it's long, and I want the beta reader to tell me what could be left out!

I'm just taking a quick moment to post here to say that I got a lot of PMs and I'm trying to get back to everyone. I'm responding to people, but I plan on reading on a first come first serve basis.

I hope I will be of help :)

I'm seeking beta-help, but you sound like your dance card may be full. If I may ask, how many requests have you got on your plate? Don't need the exact #, just a ballpark WAG so I know what I might expect if I offer to swop beta reads.

Cheers,
