message 1: by Lori Ann (new)

Lori Ann Robinson (loriannrobinson) | 1 comments I'm a romance writer that's coming out of a three year block due to some family issues. I've recently started working on a manuscript again, but I'm a little at odds with where I think the story should go, versus the direction I was taking it in before my hiatus.
This is a darker "Rock Star" romance that could trip triggers in some, so I'm looking to gauge that as well.
I will happily accept any and all constructive criticism and feedback.
You can message me here, or email me at dailgneachd1@yahoo.com

Thanks in advance to anyone who has the spare time and wherewithal!

I offer a BETA read and will give constructive critique where needed. I've been doing BETA reading off and on for about three years now. I've read some horribly written stories and some quite good ones and a couple that have gone on to be published. Please email me at Jumpj1952@hotmail.com with the attached file if you are interested. Regards Joseph

David Mittman | 3 comments Hi: I have written a book and would love to have a beta reader critique it. I would like the reader to be brutally honest as I do not have a temper.
It is a story about a young boy that fell in love with the game of tennis. He became a top ranked pro which made him a muti-millionaire at a very young age. His coach recognized that he was getting burned out and forced him to take a five-month hiatus which he did in New York City. He soon found out that he needed a disguise which made him look twice his age. To keep from getting bored, he took a job as a janitor/errand boy where he met his dream girl.
This book has a little over 48,000 words and 33 chapters. If interested in being my beta reader, please E-mail at demittman@yahoo,com. Thank you so much in advance.

David Mittman

Ashley Tainer- Harp | 36 comments I am definitely interested in reading for you. I am an experienced alpha and beta reader and I do low level editing and post reviews once you are published. I have references that I can provide for you. Feel free to reach out so we can discuss my reasonable rates and quick turn around time. Have a great day.

David  Horwat | 19 comments Hello everyone,
I used ChatGPT to write a large 175K word Sci-Fi Novel. I directed and proposed all the plot lines, characters, etc. while ChatGPT wrote the prose. Looking for a Beta Reader who can comment about the plotlines, pacing, etc. Here's what ChatGPT has to say about the creation.

"Happy Birthday Schrödinger's Cat" offers a lighthearted glimpse into a future shaped by the convergence of cutting-edge technology and human quirks. Neither dystopian nor utopian, this tale playfully projects present-day trends into a world where AI entities like CHAI and Odessa navigate the complexities of a hyperconnected society. As the World's Church, AI-driven militias, and a conglomerate's acquisition of a religious institution collide, a series of coincidences lead to a quirky series of events. Amidst AI activism, market manipulations, and unexpected alliances, the story humorously explores the delicate balance between technology and humanity, reminding us that even in a high-tech future, the unexpected twists of human nature still prevail. " ChatGPT4.0

Hope to attract beta readers with time and courage! (DavidWHorwat@gmail.com)

I am still looking for a Beta Reader. What would be your fees for a book of 175K words (longer than normal)

Neda Aria | 1 comments Hi there. I'm looking for someone who's interested in dark romance and transgressive fiction. Someone with experience reading such books.

Hi Neda, hope you're doing well! Are you open to paid readers? Dark romances are probably my favourite genre, I read so many! Here's my website in case you'd like to have a look https://www.jolucaciu.com/ and you can also reach me on jo.lucaciu@gmail.com

Thanks!

I am available again if you still need help. As an alpha reader, I feel I would be a great fit for this. Let me know.

HI David - Wow! What an unusual request - to beta-read 175K Sci-Fi ChatGPT novel. I do not normally read Sci-Fi unless it's very good (David Gerrold / Le Guin) but I'd half my fee to give this a go just for the fun of it. You can find details about me and my fee at Kosmolak.com and let's discuss this. - Bette
