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.
