Professional Beta-readers?

[Representing_Tromba]

Does anyone know of any trustworthy professional beta-readers or beta-reader sites? I just finished a recent draft and need an outside opinion on the whole book.

If you look for professional stuff, you could always look for editors who also give low-level services. If you don't have any at hand, the easiest way would probably be fiverr or other freelance services...

Alright. I'll check it out.

Depending on the level of feedback you want (and the amount of money you want to spend), you could also look for "Developmental Editing". Those also differ between looking at story beats and reading with a lot of comments.

But if you are more after a "general feeling" then multiple beta-readers would probably be a better investment :)

You can try asking DarkGodEM. I remember he was looking for work here as an editor. Maybe you can hire him to be a beta-reader?

Shoot me a link through discord. Wouldn't mind the read

Goodreads has a group where you can find beta readers. Beta readers aren't usually paid, so if you're looking to pay someone, an editor might be willing to put on a beta reader hat for the right price.
