Catherine | 9 comments Hello, I'm looking for at least three beta readers for my YA romance/drama. I'm having trouble deciding which genre it belongs to, so I'm hoping that's another thing a beta reader might suggest after finishing the manuscript.
It's been heavily revised and edited, but no promises it'll be perfect. I am willing to pay $50(US) I don't expect you to act as an editor, but just give me your honest opinions on the plot, characters, and dialogue. Do you like the story? Do you think it's ready for querying? Just your overall reviews and opinions pretty much.
I've been working on this book for over a year, and I'd really appreciate your time!

Hi Catherine I'd love to work for you.
Your budget fits my pricing for full beta reading reports and I could deliver in a short timespan if that's what you need. I usually read YA romance and dark subjects/ drama so I'd love to help you find out the main genre for your novel.
I can work via email: norawatkinsbray@gmail.com (preferred for the budget)
You can find reviews on my performance on Fiverr, or purchase my gig through it if you feel more comfortable (please message me so I can make you a personalized offer):

Thanks for considering me, looking forward to hearing from you.

Hey, Gina. Here is a rough, short blurb.
The Bad Sheep follows a year in the life of four young adults struggling with their faith as Jehovah's Witnesses. While experiencing first love, discovering sexuality, coping with loneliness, and losing friends, they are also trying to please God and their parents.
It needs some work. But that's the gist.
(Btw, it is not a Christian book, but it doesn't bash the religion either.)

Thank you so much for providing your story blurb. I think I’m not quite the right person to provide insightful feedback for your novel. I wish you the best of luck!

Anna (andzela) | 73 comments Hi Catherine,

I would love to beta read your novel. References upon request.
Here are my rates and what I promise. 

I will read your story and send you very detailed feedback, often times specifying what are my reflections as I am reading. (a reader report)
I will focus on:
- the characters (are they likable, enjoyable, did you manage your goal of making them awful ...)

- the story (pacing, great moments, twists, dead ends, dragging parts...)

- is your world believable? Is it detailed enough, or too detailed. 

-repetitions, beautifully written parts, quotes I loved.

$10 for 10000 words (2 days delivery)
$40 for 50000 words (7 days delivery)
$80 for a 100000 words (12 days delivery)

My email is andzela_a@yahoo.com

Regards, 
Anna
