I’m looking for a reliable and thoughtful beta reader to provide honest, constructive feedback on my romance fiction manuscript (approx. [word count, e.g., 70,000 words]). Your role is to read the manuscript as a typical reader would and share your insights on what works, what doesn’t, and how the story flows overall.
Responsibilities include:
• Reading the manuscript in full
• Offering big-picture feedback on plot, pacing, character development, dialogue, and overall engagement
• Noting any confusing, inconsistent, or slow sections
• Pointing out parts that stood out positively (what you loved or found impactful)
• Completing a short questionnaire or summary I’ll provide after reading
• Providing respectful, honest feedback — no need for editing or proofreading
Ideal Candidate:
• Avid fiction reader (especially [genre, e.g., mystery, romance, fantasy])
• Strong attention to detail and ability to express opinions clearly
• Reliable and communicative with agreed timelines
• Previous beta reading experience is a plus but not required
please attach your resume, only applications with resumes will be considered.
If you’re someone who loves stories and enjoys helping authors improve their work, I’d love to hear from you!
