Yes I would. I've read the book before many years ago. I am available to BR for you.
I'm a die-hard fan of Jane, so I'd be much interested! But before I accept, how long is your novel and what's the expected turn-time?
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.

Hi Vanessa!So do I!
That's why when I read Wide Sargasso Sea I had to write the sequel!
Would you be interested in Beta Reading or at least having a look at the first pages?
I'd love to know what you think about it!
Hope to hear from you soon,
Lucy.

Luccia, I just finished the beta read and emailed it to you - just letting you know here, in case it gets otherwise lost in cyberspace, and you can let me know.

This is the beginning:
The carriage swayed its way up the birch lined driveway towards Eyre Hall tunnelling through the ghostly morning mist. The muggy air reeked of wilting foliage and soggy earth as the carriage halted abruptly and the coachman closed and barred the heavy yard-gates. The vehicle rocked as he leapt on spurring the horses back into movement and seconds later I stepped out unsteadily onto crunchy gravel, adjusted my cloak and hat, and looked up to the rebuilt mansion for the first time...

I'm also prepared to Beta Read in exchange, any type of novel.
