J.U. Scribe (juscribe) | 24 comments I'm looking for an honest beta reader for my newest how-to book: "How to Self-Publish Without Going Broke." The draft is completed but I really need a beta-reader soon as possible as I'm planning on publishing late spring.

Description
Thinking about self-publishing but not sure where to start? Before you hit “Publish,” learn the important steps involved in the process so that you avoid the most common pitfalls that many new writers make. I will even explain what I mean by packaging and positioning in my brand new self-publishing guide that provides comprehensive, easy to follow steps on how to self-publish.

What I'm looking for:
-Is the development/presentation logical and simple to follow?
-Any gaps in my explanation, steps, etc.?
-What are areas in my writing that needs the most attention? (structure, pacing, grammar, etc.)
-Accuracy of statements made, word choice, etc.
-Consistency
-Other constructive feedback

Note: Subject matter experts on editing, self-publishing, cover design, formatting is a plus!

Please contact me here or PM if you are interested or have questions. Once accepted I will provide you the full draft.

Thanks in advance.

J.M. Jablowski (jmjablowski) | 5 comments How long is the book? I'm interested, but my schedule is pretty full so depending on the length and how fast you need it read I might be able to help. I have self published one book, and I'm by no means an expert but I do have some experience.

I appreciate the interest. I apologize for getting back to your reply late. I didn't see a reply in days so I lost track of future replies. The book is around 40,000 words. I was able to finally able to secure a few beta readers so I should be good for now. I'll keep you in mind for next time.

Ben  Jackson | 1 comments Can someone check out my book please? It’s called “The New Latin” and it’s about a kid who decides to learn Spanish and the people he meets along the way. If you’re interested, tell me. Feedback really helps.

Please don't solicit for "honest" reviews here, J.U. It's against our rules. Also, since you don't need beta readers anymore, I'm closing this thread.
