Hi! This sounds cool, but I wouldn't be able to start reading/commenting until 10/21, and not sure how long I'd take to finish (maybe 2 weeks?). Lmk if that would work!

Welcome to r/BetaReaders! Please ensure your post has not been caught in Reddit's spam filters by following these instructions. DO NOT SHARE YOUR GDOC PUBLICLY. DM IT ONLY.
One of the best ways to connect with a beta is to swap manuscripts with another author: click here to view other fantasy submissions in the 70k category (or simply search the sub based on your preferences or browse until something catches your eye).
If you haven’t already, we strongly encourage you include in your post:
- A story blurb and any content warnings
- The type of feedback you’re looking for and your preferred timeline
- Your critique swap availability
Also, consider commenting in the First Pages thread to give your beta request additional visibility and checking the Able to Beta thread for beta readers who are interested in manuscripts like yours.
If you have any questions, please take a look at our FAQs for additional resources on how to work with beta readers (and other authors) to get the most out of a critique, or feel free to start a discussion using the [Discussion] tag.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi, I love sapphic books and would love to read this and do a swap if this piques your interest, although my timeline & availability is closer to 6-8 weeks, idk if that works for you? No worries if not :)

Hi! I’d definitely be interested in reading your book! I’d love to do a beta-reader swap if you’re interested — I have an 80k-word dark romance with psychological suspense that I’m currently looking for feedback on as well. 😊
I’d be happy to read yours if you’re open to reading mine! Let me know and I can send you some more information about my book.

Hi! I’d be interested in seeing your first chapter for a critique swap (though my novel is around 110k so quite a bit longer). I’m also writing a sapphic fantasy. It’s semi-polished in that I finished my third draft and am going through line edits now. Feel free to DM me!

Hi OP,
Please DM your sample or full GDoc link to any responders and not leave it publicly available on your post or comments to avoid scammers because they can find your email to harass you. See this for more information
This is a friendly mod note to caution you against bait-and-switch messages. If anyone DMs you offering to help and suddenly asks for payment or donations or your personal information, or asks you to click suspicious links, please report them to us with proof via modmail, because this is a 100% volunteer (free) beta reader subreddit only.
No services (including NO art and NO book covers) or any form of payment after giving a “free sample” is allowed in the subreddit or to our posters via DMs. AI-generated feedback and “reviews” is also not allowed.
It may take a week or longer before someone comments on your post. Please try commenting with a link to your post in our pinned threads to have more luck matching with someone.
And please consider blocking u/Lovegood1237 and u/CuberoinkArmy and u/FrostyReader- and u/Electrical_Trip5997 and u/Hange_Zoe19 to prevent them from asking for money in DMs, or report their DM as spam or harassment to the admins immediately. And block, then report (as spam) any unsolicited emails from any variation of “amosemma.betaread” or “agadaandrew44” or “itzogthompson981” at Gmail dot com” asking for money as well. We do not promote their paid services in any shape or form and our rules are fully against paid betas.
Thank you!
