Grace (fictionaladventures) I’ve got a YA Contemporary Romance novel of 95,000 words that needs betas! Its title is PINK SKIES and it’s in the beginning stages of revision. I’ll take up to ten readers. Comment below or message me directly to let me know you want to do it!

I’ll be emailing the manuscript sometime in late February and the deadline to get your critiques back to me will be just under a month after that. (When I know the date for sure, I’ll update this and contact those who have agreed to do it.)

Since it’s in the early stages of revision, I mostly need you to focus on big-picture things like characterization, plot, flow, dialogue, inconsistencies, etc. Not grammar yet at this stage! Thank you so much!

Jenna is supposed to be the Girl Going Places. So when she finds out she’s failing gym, it’s basically the end of the world. She’s never gotten so much as a C in a class, and how is she going to get into her dream college if she’s failing gym of all classes? To make matters worse, she and her best-friend-who-she’s-kind-of-in-love-with’s friendship is starting to show cracks. But then comes someone she never expected to grow close to, and he reminds her of the thing she misses most – Alaska’s pink skies.

Caught between her structured life and the chance at a new one, Jenna spends one critical semester trying to make everything go back to how it was. With fear of failure following her every move, Jenna must fight for the life and love she deserves.

As her world begins to unravel around her, Jenna discovers that when you finally decide to follow your heart, the right person will follow it with you.

Gary (user_garygupton) | 1 comments I have never been a beta reader, but am available to put fresh eyes on your manuscript. I will need beta readers in the future for my YA novel-in-the-rough. Let me know if I can assist. Gary

I have already sent out the manuscript and it is due back by March 1. If you're able to finish it in that time frame, I would be happy to send it to you, but if not don't worry about it!
