SammyJo | 1 comments Hello everyone!

I’m new to this group and I have been writing my book for 10 years now. It took me awhile to believe in myself enough, with the encouragement of others who read my writing. As much as I am scared to hand over this book for someone to beta read, I am in desperate need of someone.

Pages count is about 100, but that’s my problem. Too short of a story but I don’t want to add fluff just to extend word count you know?

Anyway, tips or advice on where to go to find beta readers (shadow readers?) if this post is not allowed here please let me know.

Aristeidis Kothras | 1 comments Hello hello!

Personally, I'd be willing to check it out if you want! Alternatively, you can head to r/betareaders. They usually do swaps there, but I am sure you can find someone there that is willing to read without a swap as well! I am sure that there are probably many good groups on goodreads as well, but I don't use this website as much, so I wouldn't know.

Angela Gonzalez | 1 comments Hey! I just wrote my first book as well. I was looking for beta readers to help with my book before it’s published. It’s 240 pages. If you would like to swap I would love to read your book. I am looking for someone with honest feedback.
