Steph | 15 comments Hey all!

I'm looking for anyone interested in exchanging the first three chapters of their manuscript for beta feedback.

My manuscript is a YA fairytale retelling of sleeping beauty that is polished and just needs a few pairs of eyes on it before it hits the querying stage. Length is about 6600 words.

I'd love to read any genre (though I'd prefer YA due to similar styles). If anyone is interested, message down below or shoot me a private message. I'd be happy to look over your work!

Samantha Marchand (samanthamarchand) | 8 comments Hey! I'd be interested. My manuscript is YA fantasy/paranormal thriller. If that sounds okay with you, I'd love to swap.

Jessica | 26 comments I have a YA fairytale retelling of Sleeping Beauty as well. About 75k words. It would be fun to compare how we both approach the same story idea.

Fyri  (fyri) | 74 comments Hey (Steph and anyone else interested!),

When would I not benefit from feedback on my beginning? And beta reading openings is becoming my specialty. xD I'd love to do some swaps, if this thread is still open!

My first three chapters (including a short prologue) run to about 9,000 words.

It is a YA Crossworlds Fantasy/Adventure novel about a girl from our dimension discovering she's the glitch-in-the-universe counterpart to a tyrant on a dimension where it's as if bending in Avatar or Grisha magic in Shadow and Bone were as normal as breathing.

Let me know if this is still an open thread! <3
