Hello all! Since writers suffer from a chronic inability to judge the quality of their own work, they can sometimes benefit from additional sets of eyes looking over their manuscripts. I find myself in this situation now. I have a contemporary BDSM novelette (a shorter novella) that is scheduled to be released this month. I don’t really have a cover or even a title for the damn thing yet (working title is “A Sub’s Discipline“), but I’d like to have this looked over while I finalize those details.
For those of you who follow this blog regularly, you’ve got a pretty clear picture of what I write – BDSM erotica and erotic romance. If there are any brave readers out there who’d like a hand in molding my work into something halfway readable, I’d love to hear from you.
I am looking for honesty, objectivity and a critical eye. Tell me what you like as a reader – and tell me what you don’t like. I have a thick skin and I can take it when someone breaks the news to me that my book just plain sucks. That’s the whole reason for utilizing the services of beta readers.
If you are interested in reading, please let me know a few things:
– what do you like to read?
– what don’t you like to read?
– book length preference (e.g. “I’ll read short stories, but novels take too much time.” “I hate short stories.” etc)
– would you be interested in beta reading future books?
In exchange I can only offer a free beta copy of the book (in whichever format you prefer – print excluded) and the everlasting gratitude of a new author. If you are also an erotica/erotic romance writer, I would be happy to consider exchanging beta reading services as well.
ETA (thanks Black Hippie Chick!): If you’re interested in beta reading, please contact me via the following form: [contact-form][contact-field label=’Name’ type= required=’1’/][contact-field label=’Email’ type= required=’1’/][contact-field label= type=”/][contact-field label=’Comment’ type=’textarea’ required=’1’/][/contact-form]

Would you like it in an email, if so to what address? My email is: blackhippiechick@rocketmail.com
Hi! You can just use the contact form. I should have included that in the post. Thanks for reminding me 🙂
I will be sending you an email shortly :)!
Wonderful! Thank you 🙂
Count me in of course. I have a kinky girlfriend who keeps it all inside. She is an avid reader. I bet she would love doing this. I will talk to her.
Thanks Missy! When you get in touch with her, send her my way. Would love to have her look at the story.
