Professional Beta Reader for Romance Novel
Job Title: Beta Reader Needed for Contemporary Billionaire Romance Novel.
Description
I'm seeking an experienced beta reader for a completed contemporary romance novella. The manuscript has been self-edited and I am looking for thoughtful reader feedback before moving to the next stage of publication.
Genre: Contemporary Billionaire Romance (Big City Setting)
Length: Approximately 16,500 words
I am looking for feedback on:
•Overall reader experience
• Story flow and pacing
• Character development and believability
• Emotional connection and romantic chemistry
• Areas that feel confusing or underdeveloped
• Dialogue authenticity
• Consistency of voice and tone
• Repetitive language or awkward phrasing
• Whether the story meets reader expectations for the billionaire romance genre
In addition to a written feedback report (template provided), I would like comments directly within the manuscript (Google Docs or Microsoft Word preferred) noting:
• Confusing passages
• Dialogue that feels unnatural
• Timeline or continuity issues
• Repetition
• Scenes that lack emotional impact
• Opportunities to strengthen character motivations or story tension
This is a beta read, not a copyediting or proofreading project. I'm looking for honest, reader-focused developmental feedback.
When applying, please include:
• Your experience reading or reviewing contemporary romance, particularly billionaire romance
• Any relevant beta reading experience
• A sample beta report or feedback example (if available)
• Your estimated turnaround time
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.
