Noelle Braaten (noelle_braaten) | 8 comments Hi! I'm looking for anyone willing to beta read or swap manuscripts with me. I write contemporary, but I'm willing to read most any young adult!

Here's a blurb!

Like most best friends, Juliet Moore and Valentina Sanchez are nervous about separating for college, but they’ve got their podcast, Girls Can’t Do That, to keep them together.

Jules would rather binge watch tv shows in her dorm than attend frat parties, but her new job at the campus radio station puts her in charge of two college jocks and their testosterone heavy show, and blending into the background is no longer an option.

Val’s undecided. The major her mother encouraged is kicking her butt, and being the sober one among her roomies tires fast. New ideas and new friends, including Women’s Studies major Bea, inspire changes and feelings that she’s never had before.

The girls navigate young adulthood through their weekly show together, talking about everything from comic books to women’s rights, but the challenges they face in real life will determine if they can survive freshman year with their friendship, and podcast, still intact.

Girls Can’t Do That is told in dual point of view, with podcast scripts interspersed, and it will likely appeal to readers who enjoyed Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl!

Please email me at audra.braaten@my.und.edu if interested or leave a message on this post!

Katie | 23 comments Hi Noelle!

I'm interested in swapping manuscripts, if you're still interested. (I know this post was almost a month ago!)

I have two YA manuscripts: a fantasy that is ready to swap and a contemporary which will be soon. I can email more information if you're interested. Just let me know!

Hope to hear from you!

- Katie

I would be interested in more details and possibly swapping with you, if you'd like! Would you mind sending me an email? I have a completed YA fantasy as well as a YA contemporary that I'm still editing, but hope to have ready to swap soon :D

Noelle Braaten (noelle_braaten) | 8 comments Hi, girls! Sorry about the late reply. It's been a few weeks since I've checked on this post, but if either/both of you are looking for a swap and some opinions/critiques, I'll hopefully have some time on my hands to read and revise during the holiday season! Let me know if you're at all interested. It would be great to have a little group to work with!
