Are you looking for a critique partner?
Maybe you are looking for someone to read your manuscript and give you the absolute honest truth ... or even just someone to beta read your manuscript, and tell you if they are confused, etc ...
In order to help you get ready for the upcoming pitch contests, I'd like to provide you with a place to speak up and ask for what you need.
Sooooooo, please comment below with the following:
- Your Name
- What you are looking for: CP or BETA (CP = An actual critique partner who will line edit/line critique, or BETA = just a reader to give you some thoughts/feedback, but won't edit.)
- Manuscript Title
- Genre/Sub-Genre (this is important so we can pair you with someone in the same area)
- Completion Status (how far along is your MS?)
- Email Address (please use precautions when adding your email address. See my example below)
So, FOR EXAMPLE, if I were going to comment below, I'd say this:
Jessa Russo
Beta Reader

Pen Name: Carrie-Anne
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer a Beta reader, but not someone with the style of nitpicking every single line and not saying anything positive. I've had a really bad experience with a would-be Beta reader who didn't mention anything she liked and criticized everything.
I've got tons of completed books. Whatever suits your fancy.
I write 20th century historical fiction, interlocking series books and long, complex, sweeping family sagas. Many of my books focus on young people, but I'm not so sure anymore that they'd be considered real YA in today's market.
With few exceptions, they're all complete and in various stages of editing and polishing.
