Sunayna Prasad | 22 comments My name is Sunayna Prasad, and I am a children's book author with a middle grade fantasy currently on Amazon. If anyone has a manuscript that needs feedback, let me know. I am good at just about any genre, except historical, romance, or erotic, and I am stronger in giving feedback on children's stories than adult stories.

Ellen Grey Carter (ellengreycarter) | 3 comments I have a YA fantasy novel that is in need of a beta reader. Interested?

Steven Freeman | 57 comments Hi Sunayna,

This past weekend, I finished the first draft of a romantic thriller/mystery ("Havoc").

Would you be interested in reading it? If so, please let me know if you'd rather have PDF instead of Word and to what email address I should send the file.

This work is the fourth in a series. I have written it as a standalone work, and I'm particularly interested in seeing if it works well for those who have not read the previous novels.

To see if my writing style is your cup of tea, below are the two volumes that have been published already (#3 will come out in a month or two):
Nefarious
Ruthless

Thanks,

Steven F. Freeman

Rod Baker | 119 comments Hi Sunyana, maybe I could take advantage of your generous offer? Just finished writing memoirs of my time at sea between ages 16 to 21 and would love someone to beta read it for me.

Shreyonti Chakraborty | 89 comments Hello Suanyana. I'm an Indian author from Kolkata, India. I would love some feedback on my novel 'Unsent Letters'. Here's a blurb:

First, her mother hung herself. Then, the boy she loved fell for her
friend. And if that wasn't enough, the most high profile rape case of
the decade gripped the nation. The only thread connecting these events
is that they changed Writer Girl's life forever. Now she's a college
student in Kolkata, India, and she's ready to start afresh. But the
new city is no place for the faint-hearted and definitely no place to
start afresh. Meandering through streets that reek of oil and fish,
struggling to fit in with old-fashioned know-it-all roommates, finding
friends without belonging to any of the cliques her classmates have
formed- Writer Girl must do it all before she discovers that life can
be good again. 'Unsent Letters' is about the frequently scary yet
exciting experiences that accompany everyone's first year in college
and the act of facing one's past to move on to a better future.

If you are interested, please let me know via email. I need comments
on story, setting, what works and what doesn't, what parts are hard to
understand. I speak English fluently (as you can probably guess from
this email), but sometimes there are grammatical errors that escape my
notice. Some corrections on that front would be good.

My email ID is shreyonti@gmail.com.

Best regards
Shreyonti Chakraborty

P.S: Are you Indian by any chance? If yes, you might really enjoy my novel. :-)

I have a short story (under 3000 words) I am currently in need of Beta readers for. It is a cautionary tale with magical realism (I think?). Would you be interested in reading it?

Racquel Kechagias (rkechagias) | 16 comments Hi Sunayna,

I'm looking for a Beta-reader for my book "Last Ashes" it is the 2nd book in my series "Fire of the Soul". I'm happy to provide the first book if you want to read that. It's a Dark Fantasy/Romance.

Here is the synopsis for my book "Last Ashes".

Chaos descended on the Underworld the moment Victor died. Christian has taken over the world as it’s Overlord with Anna by his side as his bride. Everything seems hopeless to Anna until the Rebels start leaving decapitated bodies on the castle grounds. If Anna no longer knows herself, will she be able to defeat her enemy or will she succumb to him?

(Note: I'm still working on the synopsis. If you could also comment on that I would appreciate it. :D )

I would appreciate it if you could email me back in regards if your interested or not. Thanks!

Regards,
Racquel

Gita Reddy | 10 comments Hi Sunayna,

I mainly write for Middle Graders. I have self-published several books which include two novels, chapter books and short story collections. Except for horror, paranormal, and dark genres, I enjoy all the other sub-genres for children's books.

My latest book, Cheetaka, Queen of Giants, is a fantasy, and at 64,000 words, my longest book till date. I have edited it umpteen number of times. I am sure it is ready for publication and then I have doubts. Will you do me the kindness of reading it and giving your opinion? Thank you.
