Desni Dantone (ddantone) | 7 comments Hi! I'm looking for a beta reader, or a few, to read over the sequel to my first book, Ignited. Ignited was published in May 2013 and sat on Amazon Kindle's bestsellers list in the YA paranormal and fantasy romance category for 6 months. I'm hoping that the sequel, Sacrificed, will have the same success.

The Ignited Series is a fast-paced, action-driven story with elements of greek mythology intertwined with mystery and adventure. There are gods, goddesses, demigods, a group of teenagers, a subtle love triangle with two very swoon-worthy guys, and a strong female voice.

Please check out my author page and my books, Ignited and the upcoming Sacrificed. If this looks like a project you would be interested in, please let me know. I'm hoping to have Sacrificed released by the end of March and am currently wrapping up a few loose ends. I'd love to have someone to help me make it great! I fully intend to credit anyone that helps out in the acknowledgements section.

For more information:
Ignited: Ignited
Sacrificed: Sacrificed

Rachel (rachelvarisco) I would be happy to help if you still need someone. I read a book a day. Sometimes every 2 days. I have a masters degree in Linguistics and Spanish Liturature although I enjoy reading romantic thrillers, romance, YA, fantasy or sci-fi, and fiction :)

I would like to read the first book first so let me know if you would like me to help and I will get started on both books.

Desni Dantone (ddantone) | 7 comments Lisa and Rachel- Great! I'm a little behind on my own edits right now. Gotta buckle down! Anyway, probably within the next week or so I will be sending the first half of Sacrificed while I continue editing down the second half... I can email you both the PDFs of Ignited tonight or tomorrow if you'd like so that you know the storyline before reading Sacrificed. Thanks for the offer!

Nic (nicbookpanda) | 4 comments Hi,
I'd also love to help out with beta reading. However I'd also like to read the first book before I get started on Sacrificed to get to know the characters and plot.

My email address is nicole.pandal@bigpond.com :)

Desni Dantone (ddantone) | 7 comments Medha and Brooke- I'll be emailing PDFs of Ignited for you to read if you want to before starting Sacrificed. So that you 'get' the storyline. Thanks for the offer!

Hello everyone. I thought I'd let you know about another group that can be of some use to you. "Indie Author Central" is a new group whose purpose is to provide everything indie authors need, including beta's that come to you. If you have a manuscript that you want to have a beta reader for, all you have to do is follow the instructions under the beta readers corner tab called betas and writers. You'll just need a brief description of your book and the first three pages. Our betas want to get a taste for the quality of your work before committing to the project. By showing the first three pages, they can make the decision to work with you or not, and you don't have to worry about any rejection emails after you've already sent the whole manuscript.

If your manuscript is already published and you need a few reviews, there is a place for that as well. We also do an indie book of the month, where we select an author out of the read to review program, and the group members read the book, promote the author, and have book discussion. Of authors are willing, there will also be a Q&A session.
We just started the group last week and no one has posted in the read to review section, so you won't be competing with hundreds of others, so hop on the opportunity before there is a lot of competition. Best of luck.
