Kate W | 65 comments Hi Taylor. I own Beta Reader Bookings LLC. I personally vet my readers, they have all passed assessments, and they all live in the U.S. For reference, I’m an editor, and I created my company after listening to clients’ frustrations with beta readers. My readers are not editors, but they are true lovers of the genres they’re assigned. Feel free to browse beta reading services, client testimonials, and our FAQs. If you have questions, you may send an email to admin@bookabetareader.com.

Swati Garg | 31 comments Hi Taylor

I’d love the opportunity to beta read for you! Here’s a link to some of the glowing reviews I’ve received from authors I’ve worked with: https://www.fiverr.com/s/BRGrQPl

I absolutely love the action/thriller genre, and when you add magical realism to it, it’s like the cherry on top! Some of my favorite magical realism titles include One Hundred Years of Solitude, Midnight's Children, The Midnight Library, and Kafka on the Shore, among others.

You can expect in-depth, inline commentary and thorough feedback from me. I’m confident I can help enhance your work.

Looking forward to hearing from you! My email id swatigarg6687@gmail.com

Best regards,

Duncan Stockwell (duncan_stockwell) | 6 comments Hi Taylor,
This sounds like a book I'd really enjoy reading. I write action/thrillers with magic realism myself, so I think I'd be a great fit! With a degree in Creative and Professional Writing and an MA in Teaching Creative Writing, plus over a decade and a half of writing and editing experience I think I could really help to polish your book! I also work as a character voice-actor so have a keen sense of character voice, rhythm and blocking.

I'd be really excited to work together and I'm happy to offer a free one-chapter read as a sample of my work. Please do drop me a message at contact@duncanstockwell.com if you'd like to discuss things further!

All best,
Duncan

I’d love to be considered as a beta reader for your novel! I have a degree in Western Languages and Literature and currently work as an editor. I also have experience as a professional reader for a publishing house, where I spent months providing detailed manuscript feedback. Right now, I’m a beta reader for a Wales-based publishing house.

If you think I’d be a good fit, I’d be happy to take a look at your query and synopsis. When you reach out, could you include "Goodreads Beta Reader Group" in the subject line of your email? That way, I’ll be sure to spot it right away.

Looking forward to hearing more! You can reach me at nurcinmetingil@hotmail.com.tr.

Best,
Nurçin

message 20: by Melinda (new)

Melinda  Taylor (mtaylor67) | 92 comments I have beta reading, proofreading, and editing experience and have written many book reviews for books on different platforms. I can beta read a book of any length and can work with any book genre. I am hardworking, reliable, responsible, organized, detail oriented and meet deadlines. I am an effective cross functional communicator, rapid and adaptive learner, committed high receiver, skilled collaborator, dynamic solution-oriented professional. I love beta reading, proofreading, editing and writing reviews and look forward to writing yours.
I am interested in your book. It sounds like an amazing story. I am trying to get back into beta reading, proofreading, and editing after a hiatus and this would be a wonderful start. I have experience with a variety of genres and would love to find out if we are a good fit. I have worked with authors on Goodreads, Amazon, and Upwork. I am excited to get started since I love to read and review books. I look forward to hearing from you and wish you all the best in your book's success whether you choose me to work with or not.
Here are my Upwork reviews:
"Melinda delivered excellent work on this project and we enjoyed working with her. Her communication was top-notch, she met all deadlines, and her skills were strong. She adapted and learned whatever had to be learned. At one point we asked for an additional milestone, and she was very forthcoming and happy to meet our new, changing requirements. She was hands-on through the entire process. Her greatest strength has to do with seeing the tiny details, some of which we did not see ourselves. On a personal note, I enjoyed working with her and undoubtedly have additional jobs for her in the future. Don’t hesitate. Hire her!"

"I would work with Melinda again. Her prompt communication, adherence to deadlines, and cooperation was much appreciated, and mark her as a true professional. She's very skilled at what she does, and I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you!"

"Great work! Will definitely rehire for future projects requiring reviews."

"Amazing job! Would definitely recommend her!"

"Excellent job"
