Hi, looking for a second beta reader for my 69 page poetry collection titled Caged Canvas. This collection covers roots, trauma, and healing. I am on a budget and this will be a $30 job. The second beta reader will focus on reader experience. The job will need to be completed within 1 to 2 weeks. Thank you. Update: second beta reader hired. WILL LEAVE THIS POST OPEN FOR THIRD BETA READER. THIRD BETA READER: FIRST AND SECOND READERS ARE FINISHED. EDITS WILL BE MADE. WILL BE HIRING SOON. THANK YOU.

Hi beta readers, If you've already beta read for me, there's a good chance it's the same book, so no need to apply. I'll definitely reach out again when the sequel is ready. ❤️ I'm still looking for a few more readers for my contemporary romance novel. **Ideal reader:** Someone who enjoys authors like Ana Huang, Rina Kent, or L.J. Shen. While the book has familiar billionaire romance elements, it's also very emotionally driven, so it may especially appeal to readers who enjoy character depth and emotional journeys rather than stories built primarily around tropes. The story also features AI technology. If you're strongly opposed to AI as a topic, this probably isn't the right fit. If you're simply curious or on the fence, I'd still love to hear your thoughts. You should also be comfortable with morally gray heroes and a few potentially triggering themes (though nothing is described in an overly graphic way). The manuscript is approximately **82,000 words**. At this stage, I'm not expecting a formal beta report. I'm looking for your genuine opinion, as though the book were nearly ready for publication. If you happen to notice any language issues or typos along the way, I'd really appreciate you pointing them out so I can fix those minor problems.

I'm seeking thoughtful beta readers for my newly released contemporary billionaire romance novel. The manuscript is approximately 82,000 words and has already undergone professional editing. I'm looking for honest reader feedback rather than proofreading or line editing. If you have already worked with me, there is a chance this is the same novel, so you may not want to apply again.

Hello, We are looking for someone to proofread a big volume of content, including emails, ebooks, transcripts, etc. This is ongoing engagement with constant flow of work. Extraordinary attention to detail. The person should be a native English speaker and be impeccable while proofreading the materials.

Title: Crazy or Dead I’m looking for a focused developmental assessment of my 75,000-word psychological thriller, Crazy or Dead. I noticed your work includes psychological suspense/thriller projects, and that is the specific expertise I’m hoping to find. This is my sixth novel. My first five were crime thrillers written in third-person limited, while this is my first psychological thriller written in first-person present. That shift is part of why I’m seeking a specialist’s view. The manuscript is not a rough draft. It has been through multiple beta reads, two full edits, and a final proofread. I believe the plot is sound, the ending resolves the major questions, and I am not looking for a general rewrite or a broad line edit. The premise is: after a traumatic loss, a psychology PhD candidate begins experiencing events that make her question whether she is being hunted, manipulated, or losing her mind. What I want is a sharp professional read on one specific issue: whether the reader confusion in the manuscript feels like effective psychological suspense, or whether it crosses into frustration. The story uses uncertainty, possible paranoia, memory gaps, and shifting trust as part of the engine. I do not want the book made obvious too early, but I do want to know whether the reader has enough grounding, escalation, and clue placement to stay engaged until the reveal. The main areas I’d like evaluated are: Reader confusion versus suspense Whether the protagonist’s uncertainty remains compelling Whether the clue trail is fair and satisfying Whether any sections repeat the same doubt beat too often Whether the final reveal makes the earlier uncertainty worth it Whether the manuscript feels ready for agents/publishers or needs targeted structural adjustment Of course, if you see other significant issues, I would want those brought to my attention as well. Because the reader’s uncertainty is central to the book, I’m hesitant to send a full spoiler synopsis before you’ve had a chance to look at the manuscript. I can provide one if you need it for quoting or later analysis. I’m attaching the manuscript, and you’re welcome to skim whatever portion you need in order to decide whether the project is a good fit and to provide an appropriate quote. Could you let me know whether this kind of focused assessment is something you do, what the approximate cost would be, and how you would approach it? All the Best, Mike Slavin mikeslavinauthor dot com

Hi, I need an experienced native English speaker/proofreader to check 12 pages for an English language textbook – including typos, clarity, uniform formatting of fonts and spacing across all 12 pages (same activity page for 12 sequential units). My regular proofreader is suddenly unavailable, and I need the final pages to submit by Friday. From my experience, if you're locked in, this should take about 3 hours. Sample page attached.
