Kelsey (kelsey_simon) | 103 comments Hi,

I am looking for a beta reader for a YA Fantasy. I am on a tight budget, and am looking for someone who would be able to do the reading for roughly $25.

I am currently in same stages of edits (I have already done two rounds of edits, this would be a third round where I am attempting to make a change to one characters thinking process). What I almost need more than anything is someone who is reading the first section as I edit the second, and thats helping to keep me to a deadline as I go.

I am looking for only over all feedback -- no line by line obviously or proofreading.

I don't know if anyone would interested as this might not be the more traditional way of handing beta reader.

I basically would hope to provide roughly 100 pages (about 30K) to start, then as you progress through that, I will prepare the next 100 (30K).

The completed manuscript was roughly 90K, but will likely lose words as I am cutting a few chapters and scenes.

Let me know if you might be interested and I can send more information about the work itself, or even share the first few chapters. I would prefer to make payment through paypal.
