I am working on my second novel. (I published my first in 2018.) I am looking for 1-2 beta readers with availability around or slightly after June 1. Here’s specifically what I am seeking:

- Readers with a rate of $1/1,000 words or less. (So $92 or less based on word count.)
- Readers with a friendly, honest, and constructive critiquing style � I’m not looking for readers who self-describe as “brutal.�
- “Big picture� feedback on elements such as plot, believability, reaction to characters, pacing, what you liked, what you didn’t like, where you were confused.
- It’s a bonus if you’re a reader who can make actionable suggestions on how to fix spotted issues.
- It’s a bonus if you leave in-line comments through track changes as well providing a summary at the end.

And here’s what you’ll be reading:

- 92K word self-edited second draft.
- Genre is general fiction.
- The story is a character-driven realistic medical drama set in a fictionalized version of Perth, Western Australia in 1956. My main character is an ambitious young pediatric congenital heart surgeon who decides to build a heart-lung machine. It’s not quite an #ownvoices book, but the main character has an anxiety disorder and is bipolar like I am.
- Although intended for an adult audience, it’s a fairly clean story, with only some mild profanity and any sex taking place off the page.

I have two MDs who will be reading the story, and a good friend who is an Aussie, so I am not overly concerned about those issues. I would like at least one reader to be someone who isn't in the medical profession to make sure the story is accessible to a general audience.

Please post your website/contact information, and anything else you think I should know. If I feel like we'd be a good fit, I'll be in touch in the next couple of days. Thank you!

Hello J.R.

I am a proofreader and beta reader. I am very honest and informal about the feedback, comments, and suggestions I make. I can also help you omit errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, consistency, etc. My rates are flexible according to your budget. You could check out my site crazykidjournal.com and if you are interested please contact me at [email protected]

Hi J.R. I would love to beta read for you. I have 10 years experience in beta reading as well as editing. Check out my website at to read testimonials about my work. I do have an opening around June 1st. I am definitely not a brutal beta reader and I offer explanations about why I found something that needs changing as well as suggestions to improve it, that is one thing all my clients like about my work. I will also mention what you are doing well and why it works. My beta reading includes knee-jerk reactions in the form of in line commenting as well as a summary on overall elements at the end. My email is [email protected] and my rate is $.50 per 1000 words.
I do have a medical background but I cwn distance myself from that and tell you what a general reader would or wouldn't understand.

Hi J.R.

I am an experienced beta reader and would love to beta read your novel.

My fees are on a tiered system based on word count, so with a manuscript of 92k words I would charge $59. This includes a round of Q&A after you've received my feedback. I provide a marked-up copy of your manuscript with my thoughts and feelings as I was reading with an end-of-chapter summary, plus a full summary and analysis document (typically three to four pages) the whole novel as a whole.

For more information and to see testimonials from authors I've worked with, you can check out my blog page

If this sounds like what you're looking for then you can PM me on here or email me at [email protected].

Best wishes, Mikayla

Hey! I would definitely be interested in providing some valuable feedback for your general fiction. I'm an experienced beta reader who keeps her commentary professional and constructive. You can expect an overall feedback that takes into account all the aspects you've mentioned in your post. I unfortunately don't provide in-line comments but always refer to specific lines or sequences or pages in my feedback.

This service starts at a base price of $1/1K words so your manuscript would cost no more than $92. I have a slot available during the first two weeks of June which aligns perfectly with the turnaround time you're expecting.

You can read more about my service, view some samples, and read trusted testimonials . Let me know if you have any queries or if you wish to take this forward through an email: [email protected]

Hi J.R.
Your story looks fascinating, and I'm interested in beta reading. My rate is $1/1000 words, and I am available starting next week. I don't leave track changes comments for my beta reads, but I provide a detailed report on what worked, what didn't work, any big reactions I had to anything (plot, characters, etc.), and suggestions for improving things that confused me/didn't work. You can find more about me at my editing services page (), and my email is [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi J.R.,

I have samples of my work available on request. $1 per 2000 words. [email protected]

Thank you for all the responses. I am closing this thread.

I wish I could hire all of you, but alas, budgets. I usually do two rounds of beta reading before I send my novel off to be copy/line edited, and I will be using this thread to choose my second round readers as well. So if you don't hear from me now, you may yet hear from me later this summer or in the fall.

Thanks again! :)

Hey J.R.
I would love to be the Beta Reader to your book!

As the thread was still open I was going to throw my hat in the ring until I saw your post stating you were closing the thread. You may not visit this thread again but if you do I wish you the best of luck on your novel.
