Beta Reader Group discussion

I have done some beta reading in the past. At the moment I have some free time at my hands and I would like to pick it up again.

My interest is in romance (no other genres, sorry), I mostly read historical romance (Regency) and contemporary romance. I don’t have an issue with open door, spicy, etc., but I would like to take a look at the blurb/plot first to determine if I think it’s something I would enjoy reading.

I will only beta read one manuscript at a time and the timeframe will depend on the length (I would prefer sth. around 90k words at most) and my schedule. If you comment or message me, please provide a blurb/description, how many words and if you have a deadline.

I prefer working in Google Docs.

Hi!

I have a WIP I'd love to send you the blurb for if you can email me at tawnihartwrites@gmail.com. It's a romcom. Thanks :D

Hi,
I would LOVE for you to beta read my slow burn, emotionally driven, CLEAN, contemporary romance. I just finished my final edits and received my cover from my graphic designer today!
This is my debut novel, and I'm looking for a fresh pair of honest eyes.
Contemporary Romance, 60K words. If interested, please email mea at author.riacharya@gmail.com. Thanks :)

Hi!

If you're interested, I have a 95k YA sci-fi romance called "The Shadow of Tarensa.” My deadline is around 1-2 months if possible. I will post the summary below:

---------

Norra has dreamt for years of finding someone like her, but her adoptive parents have never allowed her to leave her hometown. Life is hard enough for a teenage girl, and it’s even harder when you have no idea who you are or where you came from. Lacking anything normal like claws or feathers, her gangly limbs and flat face set her apart in any crowd.

Then, on her eighteenth birthday, Norra has a chance to get out into the real world during her rite of passage journey, with hopes of finally fitting in. However, everything changes when she is kidnapped by a warrior race called the R’caesa, who plan on taking her back to their capital city. While Norra is plotting her escape, she meets another one of their prisoners: a mysterious, shrouded man known only as “the Shadow” whose people, as legends say, came from another world. Norra has always wanted to see a human in real life since she has never really believed the stories about their godlike silver skin and flying ships.

Eventually, Norra is able to make an escape, taking the Shadow along with her. But, even after he’s free, why won’t he lift his veil?

(P.S. If it isn't clear in the summary, Norra is a human too.)

Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in. Thank you!

My name is Mary and I have a manuscript for a novel called "Mullo". I am looking for beta readers to read and critique it, and I saw your advertisement in a Goodreads "Beta Reader Group". I would describe "Mullo" as historical fiction, horror, romance (LGBT). It goes back and forth between a story that takes place in the past and one that takes place in the present. Here is a blurb I wrote for it:

"THEN
In 19th century Romania, death is always just around the corner. Zorya, a Roma healer woman, knows this well. But when a stranger unexpectedly calls on her expertise, she, her husband, and her children, find themselves in a place they were once forbidden from entering. But even as their life becomes more stable and prosperous, it may only take one tragedy for things to fall apart."

"NOW
Nick Alicea isn’t having a bad day. He’s having a bad life. Stuck in a dead-end job, drowning in debt, and haunted by a tragedy from his past, he's struggling. So, when a chance encounter leads to a friendship with Mirza Durvari, a quiet doctor with a mysterious illness, Nick’s life starts to seem a little less bleak. But even as their relationship becomes more intimate, Nick is forced to ask himself: Who is Mirza Durvari?"

The entire manuscript is 125,000 words. Let me know if you are interested in beta reading.

Looking forward to hearing from you..
