Hello!
Thanks for being interested in signing up as a beta reader. As mentioned on my website, the requirements are pretty straightforward and simple. There is a time limit on both manuscripts, but I also believe that it will be fairly easy to read through and respond with your feedback.
I will get in touch with you within a week of you filling out this form, to follow up and ensure that you are interested in beta reading both manuscripts. Post that, on the dates mentioned below, I will send an email as well as links to the Google Doc with the manuscript.
HOW IT WORKS
- I will share the Google Doc with you via the email address you submit in the form
- As you leave feedback, I will not be looking at the document or responding to comments (because I will turn these notifications off)—unless you need me to respond to something urgently, then I advice you to either DM me on Instagram or email me about it
- When you're done, reply to the original email and let me know what your thoughts are.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE MANUSCRIPTS
Please note, you can apply for just one or both projects
Manuscript #1: Heartlines (Sapphic Short Story)
- You'll get the story by January 7th and I expect it back by January 31st
- This short story isn't connected to my published series, but will be an introduction to my next series
- I will send you a set of questions and guidelines on what to look for/what feedback I'd like as well
Manuscript #2: Almost Home (Love in Wildes, Book 3)
- The book is slated for a late May/early June release, so I will send you the manuscript by February 11th and I'll need it back within a month (March 10th — 12th)
- I'm also looking for readers who haven't read the first two books, to see if the story can function as a standalone as well as part of a series
- Questions and guidelines on what to look for/what feedback is required will be included
* If at any point during the beta reading process you realise you will not be able to meet the deadline or are not interested in the story anymore, please let me know. I won't be offended, I don't want to force you to read something that you no longer enjoy.
