Tonya Coffey (tonyacoffey) | 16 comments I am looking for a beta reader/editor to look over a new contemporary romance for young adults. It is about 32,000 words.

Blurb:

When a five-year-old murder puts the Sheriff's daughter, Cora, in the cross hairs. Eighteen-year-old Dante, the next president of the local motorcycle club, will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
When bullets fly and people are taken hostage, Cora and the club look to Dante to even the score.
Before it's over, Dante and Cora will risk their lives to save their families and sometimes promises get broken.

Tonya Coffey (tonyacoffey) | 16 comments Thanks for your advice. It isn't the actual blurb. I haven't written one yet. This is just a quick description so people could get an idea of what it's about.

Melva Henderson | 8 comments I would also be willing to read your ms and give feedback free of charge.

Ian Bott (iansbott) | 269 comments Hi Tonya, both YA and romance are way outside my usual spheres, but I would also be willing to give it a read. I wouldn't have the perspective of your target audience, but could likely comment on things like plot, pacing, and clarity. Feel free to message me if you still need readers.

Edit: free of charge. Writers need to support each other, and if you develop a decent support network you should always be able to find beta readers without delving into paid services.

I would hate to see you pay to get a beta-reader. If you're still looking, I would be willing to read your book and offer feedback..."


That's the spirit!

Thanks to those who remember we're here to help each other and not charge for it.

It sounds interesting, Tonya. I might be interested, too. Send me a message if you still need a beta reader.

Tonya Coffey (tonyacoffey) | 16 comments Thanks, everyone! I sure do appreciate the interest in my book.

I'm going to send a couple of you a message.
