Participate in our brief, fun product idea/innovation session!

Beta Reader Needed — Sweet Small-Town Hockey Romance Novella (20k–21k words) Job Description I'm looking for an experienced beta reader who reads sweet or clean contemporary romance to go through my completed novella and give me honest, detailed feedback before I publish. The manuscript was drafted with AI assistance and has already been through a full self-edit, copyedit, and continuity pass on my end. What I need now is a real reader's perspective — someone to tell me if the story actually lands emotionally, feels natural on the page, and delivers what romance readers expect from this genre. This isn't a line edit or proofread; I'm looking for developmental, reader-level feedback. Book Details Title: The Wrong Cottage: A Pittsburgh Titans Novella Genre: Sweet / clean contemporary small-town romance (hockey romance) Heat level: Closed-door — 1–2 out of 5. No explicit content. Word count: Approximately 20,000–21,000 words (15 chapters plus an epilogue) Ending: Guaranteed HEA, no cliffhangers, no love triangles Tropes: Enemies-to-lovers, grumpy x sunshine, forced proximity, mistaken identity, he-falls-first, only one bed This novella is the first in a planned series, so I'm also curious whether the story makes readers want to keep following the world and the characters introduced for future books. What I'm Looking For A written feedback report covering (I'll provide a short template so this is easy to fill out): Overall story impression Plot holes or confusing sections Character believability Emotional engagement Pacing Voice and tone consistency Repetitive phrasing or AI-style writing patterns Alignment with sweet romance reader expectations Inline comments left directly in the manuscript (Google Docs or Word preferred), flagging: Confusing scenes Dialogue that feels unnatural Repetition Timeline issues Emotional flatness Areas that need strengthening To Apply, Please Include Your experience reading or reviewing sweet/clean contemporary romance A sample of a beta report you've written before, if you have one Your estimated turnaround time Your rate for a manuscript this length Budget This is a fixed-price project. Given the short length (roughly a two-hour read), I'm budgeting $40–$50 for this beta read.
