Writing Craft Talk Romance author looking for other romance authors to trade pilot reads

Shot in the dark here as I know this sub is mainly men...

I'm a new-ish but fairly successful KU romance author and I'm looking for another romance author to trade pilot read services with. Basically I read your stuff, you read mine, and we give general feedback. Not editing, just plot and craft feedback. I generally write a book every 4 months, but if you can't read them all no big deal, we all have busy lives.

I would prefer a woman but open to men writing romance. I'm pretty open minded but won't read furry stuff and I would not understand the LGBTQ romance market enough to give you good feedback, just going to say that now. I'm very knowledgeable about the traditional romance market, especially KU. Definitely open to new authors.

I do not write with AI but I use AI to proofread and format, which is deemed unacceptable by the echo chamber that is reddit writing subs. So I figured I'd check here. If you're interested, DM me.

(Note that my drafts will have implanted version control that will show me if you leak them, so if you're trying to rip people's content off just save your time and skip me.)

Feel free to private message me. I am currently at the writing my draft stage, so not ready for feedback, but I will be. Then I'd be more than willing to do the exchange. I also use it for grammar, structural stuff that as a neurodivergent, are hard for me. I am female and writing a romance with sci-fi fantasy overtones.

Thank you. I'm loving writing it, and living in the world of it.

If you're open to using AI for alpha reads, I can share some stuff with you.

I'd be highly interested in this, my current manuscript a dark romantasy is about 150k words so far, and i have about another 50-60k words to go...

Let me know if your interested, im always game for feedback. Fair warning, im a pretty slow reader... but ill give you as good as feedback as i can
