Mitchell Lecoultre | 2 comments Hello everyone!

I am an author but I am willing to do beta read swaps!

my email is mitchleco@hotmail.com if anyone is interested in reading an adult high fantasy adventure of 113k words.

Blurb:
“The Godstone Decree,” book two in the Gods Adrift series is a high fantasy adventure packed with realistic action sequences, immersive world-building, vivid descriptions, and tangible—emotional character arcs; all told from the perspective of three strong-willed sisters.

What greater beauty is there than the truth?
-Quote associated with Minollo, god of the Artstone

Three interminable years have passed without her sisters. And Sophia is left with nothing but memories and letters from across the sea.

Letters that hide the truth. Mundane lines about boring lives. That is until recently. Everyone knows the Vollimosa sisters don’t live boring lives…

So, she reads the parchment over and over, but the words remain: mercenaries of The Crimson King, troves of Artstone plundered, plots linked to murders at the capitol. As a Keeper, she is meant to think, to ponder the fickle gods’ designs. But with godstone being used to further the schemes of Augustia’s worst, she wonders if boring might be better.

Crissa Jewel | 3 comments Hey my name is Crissa Jewel!

I'm a developing sci-fi and fantasy author trying to breakthrough in the genre. I'll post separately about the manuscript I just finished but wanted to take the time to introduce myself. I'm looking for betas but am open to swap manuscripts with fellow authors as well. I enjoy coming of age stories, sci-fi, fantasy and stories that make you think. Thrillers/horror aren't for me. Here's to happy writing/reading!

Dogtown Editing (dogtownediting) | 1 comments Hi everyone!

My name is Cailey, and I’m a professional copyeditor by day, but I’m here in this group as a fellow book-lover looking to swap beta reads and offer critique partner support. I read widely, but I have a soft spot for romance, mysteries, and thrillers, especially the twisty ones.

I’d love to take on a few beta reading projects, so if you're looking for honest, thoughtful feedback from someone who cares about story pacing, character arcs, and what makes a sentence click, feel free to reach out. I’m here to help and excited to connect with writers.

My email is dogtownlit@gmail.com :)
