Why or why not?** ### Deliverables I would like: 1. A **written beta-reader report** summarizing your overall reactions and observations. 2. **Inline comments in the manuscript** (Microsoft Word preferred) whenever you encounter something confusing, repetitive, emotionally weak, inconsistent, unnatural, or particularly effective. This manuscript was developed and revised with AI assistance, so I am particularly interested in a **genuine human reader's reaction** to whether the writing feels natural and emotionally authentic. **Your beta-reading feedback itself must be based on your personal reading of the complete manuscript. Please do not use AI to generate or substitute for your reader feedback.** ### When applying, please include: * Your experience beta reading **Contemporary Romance and/or Small Town Romance** * Approximately how many romance manuscripts you have beta read * A sample beta-reader report, if available * Your expected turnaround time for a 105,600-word manuscript * A brief description of what you normally include in your beta feedback I am looking for someone who will be **honest, specific, and constructive**. I do not need someone simply to tell me they enjoyed the book. I want to know what works, what doesn't, and anywhere a real romance reader could become confused, disengaged, or emotionally disconnected from the story.
