I would love for you to read the first chapter of a book I am currently writing. :)
It's a fantasy but still in the beginning stages.

Hi Giovanni,I’d love to get your take on my first two chapters. It’s a LitRPG story with the following premise:
Ever had that feeling you're not where you belong?
Waking up in a video game without knowing how you got there might well qualify.
Follow Nylah as she attempts to discover why she's been uploaded and how she can get out, all while doing her best not to lose her mind to the game world.
If you’re interested, I’d be happy to hear from you!

Hey there! I'm totally game for that genre, Sounds anime-like (SAO vibes). DN ne!
Giovanni is amazing at giving feedback and even will edit parts of your writing as well. I would highly recommend having Giovanni as a beta reader.
Giovanni is a good beta reader. His analysis are really detailed. Would recommend.
Giovanni just read my first couple of chapters so quick! His summary feedback was super helpful. His beta reading is heading toward critique level so you can even refine your craft from his suggestions. Very helpful, highly recommend!

Recently, I've asked Giovanni to read my two chapters and I can say he's very good at what he does. He creates a helpful report and explains his positives and areas of concern. He comments on the plot, the characters and how the overall aspects of the story. I highly encourage reaching out to him when you're looking for a beta reader. He's also a published author and knows his stuff about writing.
Giovanni was amazing and gave me some fantastic feedback. I was not expecting to receive such a positive review of my story, but he gave me the boost I needed to keep going with my writing. I would definitely recommend Giovanni.

Giovanni reviewed the first 2 chapters of my novel. He provided a great break down of what I was doing well and where I need to improve my characterization, which will be very helpful for improving my draft. His feedback was very encouraged. Thanks Giovanni!

Giovanni was super helpful! He helped me see the switching tenses in my story and altered me to an issue with 'showing not telling.' He works quickly and I got feedback by the next day. Would definitely recommend his services!
Hi Giovanni!I am currently going through my third round of self-edits on my manuscript, but I would love feedback on my first two chapters. Here is just a one-liner of my book if you are interested. I am a novice writer, as this is my first book, but any criticism will be insanely helpful!
A warrior injured in a battle between gods is found unconscious along a foreign shore; seven years later, she must discover who she is while saving the world from her forgotten past.

Giovanni was insanely helpful when reviewing my first two chapters. The report was back almost the same day and identified errors in pacing/unnecessary exposition. I really appreciated how through and actionable his feedback was!
Hi GiovanniI'm writing a dual POV romance novel and I'd really appreciate it it if you'd give it a read if you're OK with that?

Hello! I would love it if you could read the first 2 chapters of my sci-fi/fantasy YA novel. This is the third or fourth draft.
Giving this thread a bump up!I hope to read y'all soon.
Giovanni, I would love it if you could find some time to read the first two chapters of my novel. [thriller, 100K, editing phase]
It's the first book in a series that follows John and the team that he's put together work outside of the law in what is becoming a broken justice system while trying to stay one step ahead of the authorities. Meanwhile in DC, Senator Williams works to change the course of the justice systems broken ways within. Both of them struggling with was is right and what is necessary. As corruption is exposed at the highest levels, they both fight tooth-and-nail doing what they think best for the people that have been hurt the most.
I'm looking for any sort of feedback. Thanks

Hello, I have recently finished my Fantasy book: Ashes of Revenge. I would describe this as a YA Fantasy book and would love for you to read the first two chapters of my book!In the land of Corrail five species use hate and spite to make the land a violent cesspool. Raven, a badly burned Mundus, knows that better than anyone. Betrayed by her Kingdom, and left for dead in enemy territory, she wants nothing but revenge against the Mundus King.
Years after the incident, an unlikely trio forms with similar interests: Colt, an anxiety-ridden Shifter with a skill for killing, and Richard, an overly strict Farian with the ability to strategize against anything and one. The small group devise a plan to ensure the Kingdom they live in is protected against the others that oppose and threaten war.
Just as they begin to make progress, a new player in their twisted game appears: Death. Moving his players, the group end up in Raven’s old Kingdom with a new mission for the group to follow. With Death promising that Colt and Richard will be hurt if she doesn’t do as she’s told, she agrees to the deal. But vengeance courses so fast beneath her skin that nothing can stop her from getting what she wants. Not even Death.

Hi there!The title of my book is ‘Retribution’, and it is an Adult: Romance novel, filled with plot twists and angst. It is a 100,000-word novel (Final draft). It is a dual POV narration throughout, alternating between the lives of the two characters. The novel is based in Atlanta, more specifically Buckhead. It is set in the present.
My target audience is fans of Lucy Score, Lauren Asher, Colleen Hoover and Penelope Douglas. Any adult who has an interest in romance, suspense, and mystery. ‘Book Tok’ would be a huge selling point for this novel. Think, Colleen Hoover's 'Verity' meets Gillian Flynn's 'Gone Girl'.
Blurb: Indie and Reed are worlds apart in their lifestyle. Reed is a successful lawyer with a wife and 9-year-old-daughter whereas Indie is an entrepreneurial ballerina, with her own ballet studio. What happens when their worlds crash into each other? In the event of Reed’s wife’s death, he must face life on his own as a single father, or does he? With an ongoing custody case, cheating fiancés, contractual marriage, sisterly love, and mysterious messages what will become of Reed and Indie’s relationship?
I’d appreciate if you could read the first 2 edited chapters of my book :) Thank you
My book is done, but I'm not having much luck with my sample pages (first few chapters). I'd love if you could look over the first two chapters!This is a domestic suspense in two POV.
Let me know if you can help :)

Thanks Gio for giving my book a read, I really appreciate it. I would definitely recommend using him as a beta reader. He gave me a thorough analysis of what doesn't work as well as what did. I know it was just a couple chapters but my first two were pretty heavy. Again, thanks bud.
Gil looked over my first two chapters in a prompt, thorough manner. He caught a plot issue that been bugging me, and gave some good suggestions.Highly recommend!
Thanks again Gil!

Hello,
I am hoping you'd be interested in beta reading the first two chapters of my completed fantasy novel set in a post-cataclysm Virginia.
The most prevalent theme is about whether the main character’s life is worth anything when his culture, religion, family, and even himself deem it unworthy just because he has a debilitating illness (what we would know as the autoimmune disease, myasthenia gravis).
SYNOPSIS:
"Fifteen-year-old Abel March has been cursed by the Five Gods for wickedness. No one likes him, let alone admires him. When he accidentally triggers a magical amulet, the spirit inside kills his brother and three other boys.
Livia Calzada is a priestess who stumbles upon the village and Abel’s execution, stopping it just in time to declare that since he can naturally perform magic, she herself must escort him to a sacred place and perform a ritual to sacrifice him to the gods, cleansing the world of his evil.
She promises Abel that he will have a good afterlife if he accompanies her, to which he heartily agrees. She takes him on a journey through the hostile wilderness, gaining allies and battling the monsters and troublemakers in their path.
All Abel desires is to rest in peace, and all Livia wants is to fulfill her promise. With everything and everyone standing in their way, it will take a miracle – or several – to succeed."
If you are interested, please let me know how I can get it to you.
Thank you for your time.

A condemned hero ey? Sounds original. You can DM me for more info.
I'd just like to say how quick Gio's turnaround was to beta read my first 2 chapters, and they were in-depth, pointing out issues I couldn't see myself. I've taken Gio up for a full beta read of my novel as his feedback was too good to pass up on.
Highly highly recommend.
Thank you Gio!
Giovanni was quick and professional in his beta read. I could tell he really enjoys what he does and puts his heart into the process. Everyone should send him their first two chapters for a great analysis.Thank you Gio!
Gio read my opening chapters for flow, consistency, characters, dialogue and plot, with in-line comments and a written report. My MS was in good hands. I'm glad to have him read for me!
I'll read for flow, consistency, characters, dialogue and plot, with in-line comments and a write up report.
I've got a postgrad in English as well as an editing degree from my alma mater, so you know your MS is in good hands.
Can't wait to get reading!
