Michele Hubler | 7 comments I'd like to swap beta reading with someone. I have a 66,000 word completed novel with fantasy elements. I am happy to read YA, fantasy, sci-fi, etc. Thanks!

Dave Anderson | 54 comments I have a completed NA Romeo and Juliet styled romance told during group therapy for murderers. It's a bit dark. If interested send me a word version of your novel to dave.anderson@wavecable.com. I have some time now and can respond with my comments within two weeks. PS I've been reviewing novel for roughly 10 years. All the best,
Dave

Sophie Li | 5 comments Hello Michele :)

I am interested in swapping novels. I have a 53K-word YA sci fi novel titled Children of the Sun. It is about a species of genetically modified humans, "Deviants", who have the ability of spontaneous combustion.

PM me if you are interested :)

Hi Michele,
I have a 52K word Paranormal/fantasy romance series that I have book one ready and would love to swap with you.
Here is a little blurb on it. Let me know what you think.

The series follows seven warriors whose race has been wiped out. Their quest is to find their Forsaken loves in order to rebuild their race. As they protect their precious gift, they are faced with suspense, romance, action, and mystery along the way. All while in the attempts to defeat and destroy their enemy the Fae.

Michele Hubler | 7 comments Hi J.B.,

I would be interested in a beta read swap with some conditions.
We read each other's novels as if they were finished works. So, no line editing, correcting typos, etc.

After we have completed the read, we'll comment if something didn't make sense, or a character didn't seem authentic, or an action didn't ring true. Also, and this is important, comment on what we liked. Make these comments in a summary email, not in the actual document.

If these conditions are acceptable to you, I can have a beta read completed for you by Feb. 17.

Before you accept, here's a short blurb about my novel: Vanessa, a woman haunted by a single event that occurred in a unit for the chronically mentally ill at a state hospital in Arizona, returns years later seeking either redemption or retribution.

Let me know what you think. You can use my email: mmhubler@gmail.com

Cheers,
Michele

Elliott (elvandruff) | 20 comments Hello Michelle, I have just made some edits to my manuscript after 2 beta processes, and am now seeking several beta's to put it through what I hope is the final round. It is a 1st person POV YA Fantasy.

Name- Beyond the Shroud
Word count- 92k
Chapters- 26

Sheltered in the mountains behind a shroud of mist, lies one of the last rebel holdings of the Morganite’s –Espiria. It is here where 16-year-old Rowyn Blythe has lived all her days, hunting, raiding, and surviving in the wilderness with her clan. But a passing sorcerer discovers a frightening power existing within her, threatening to expose her and her clan to the empire of Lyrica.

When Rowyn agrees to attend the empire’s school of sorcery to the south, she’s swept into a world she knows precious little about with adversaries on all sides. First, is the mysterious assassin who haunts her journey. Next, is the son of the hated consul of Morgania, the man responsible for the death of her family. Finally, it’s society itself, who shuns the Morganites as renegades. Through all of this Rowyn must still train to control her hated ‘gift’, influencing the weather, while at the same time trying to evade the empire she’s been raised to hate. An empire that has been brought low with plague, war, and widespread drought. Rowyn may want nothing to do with the empire, however the empire is determined not to let her go.



Let me know if you're interested in beta-ing it!

Michele Hubler | 7 comments Hi Elliott,
Oh my gosh, I wish I could beta read your book. It sounds great! But I am past that stage for my book. I'm at the editing stage.

I am sorry for my slow reply. I wish you all the luck with your novel.

Sincerely, Michele
