Beta Reader Available!

I would be very grateful if you would beta read my book.
If you e-mail me at Guy@guyhallowes.com I will send you a copy of the m/s and a short story summary.




I highly recommend them!







I want a beta reader for a contemporary western romance. 36k words.

Rusty & Boothe
Let me know if you're interested.

I'd love to help you with your contemporary romance. It has been a while since I've read a western piece, so I'm very excited to have a chance to read one. You can send it to service@simplybetareading.com.






I just received my write up from Jazmyne and her partner at simplybetareading.com. I used the Simply Beta Complete service at .001 a word.
The service provided minimal grammar checks but a thorough look at the story as it developed. This is generally what true beta reading is, although many young authors think betas are editors.
I appreciate Jazmyne and Simply Beta Reading for the service they provided for my current novel. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I'm glad I used them. If anyone is on the fence about their services, you can relax knowing that they will read and give you "real" feedback. Having true criticism is a must if anyone wants to be a great author.
So I give them a thumbs up and thank them for their hard work.


You guys are awesome. :) I've just finished polishing a collection of short stories and I'd love to get any feedback on them. They're written in the vein of Alfred Hitchcock, Twilight Zone and Richard Matheson, if that helps. The descriptions & lengths are below, so you can browse and see if any particular one appeals to you. :)

Adrift (6k) -
A rich and powerful man finally finds his place in the world.

As if her life hadn’t changed enough with the arrival of a sick baby brother and parents who seem to have forgotten she exists, eight-year-old Merel now learns that her sleep has quit on her and that she will have to embark on an uncertain and dangerous journey to recover it ― or never sleep again.
Accompanied only by her devoted toy sheep Roger and a vintage alarm clock named Hulda, an overtired Merel checks in to the Black Owl Hotel, from where she must start her search for a place called Lullabye Grove.
Travel with Merel into a dreamlike land and meet, among others, a cottoncandy-haired giant, a sleepy king with a strange obsession for feathers and a mysterious old man on a night train going nowhere. Find out why the moonfish are crying, why you should never walk through the Great Yawns, and if poor Merel will finally find her sleep ― or if she will have to stay awake forever.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!





Hello, I just saw your offer for 20% off and have sent a message to you using the form on your website. What is your turnaround time and is there a waiting list?

I'm definitely going to keep them in mind in the future for my future projects (esp. my NaNoWriMo short story collection from November!).
