    I need a few people to do some approval reading for me. I need just a couple of people to read the first chapter of a story I'm going to be posting soon to tell me things they like, dont like, or suggestions for it. The first chapter is something that makes or breaks a story and I want to know if my first chapter is something that would entice readers to want to continue reading my story.

    If you are interested just PM and I'll send a basic summary and the first chapter. All i ask is for an honest opinion and maybe a few suggestions or corrections. ^-^

    Hello, I'm looking for someone to read through some of my oneshots and simply look for errors. Most of them are under 1100 words and not too many errors. I just want a fresh pair of eyes. They are mainly fan fiction, a couple original fiction. If you could PM me that would be wonderful. (:

    Got someone! Thanks. (:

    I need a beta for two stories. But the most urgent one is Love Tress. It's a one-shot/ true story (somewhat). It's rated PG/ PG-13. It's not on this site so I would have to email it to whoever takes on the task. I'm asking for editing, word suggestions, critique, the whole nine. Please be skilled at this, because if I'm unhappy, I'll keep looking.

    The second one is something I feel like I need to find someone very dedicated and skilled at editing because it's much longer. It's also not posted on this site. It's a novel, rated PG-13/ R, kind of a romance but has more important subjects in it. It's like a story of caricatures regarding a certain race of people. But it's a big project and needs intricate detailed editing and critique.

    Please PM me if you're interested in either/or, or both.

    Hey everybody.
    I need someone to help me pick out grammar mistakes, and various other mistakes in my new upcoming story, during the fact that English is my second language and I often get comments about my grammar, and I want this story to be "perfect". The story isn't up yet, but I'll send you the text in a private message (or other ways if you want).
    Thank you.

    xx. Sara

    Hello!

    I need someone to help me be the extra pair of eyes for a new story I'm currently writing. My other beta was busy and I don't want to pester her. I've already gotten a chapter written out and am into my second one. Anyone keen on helping, please PM me, thank you.

    Oh by the way, the story I'm writing about is a fanfiction and must be comfortable reading about boys in a band. But don't worry, it's not slashy Tongue

    Advanced thank you to whoever is willing to help me out Smile

    Found someone, thanks!

    Hello all~

    I need someone to be a beta for my story, Scars. The story that's up right now with that title will be deleted (sadface D:) and a new one is going to be put in place because I've found many errors with it and I'm just ready to start over since it seemed so rushed to me.

    I'm looking for someone who will point out errors with things such as changing perspective (1st person, 3rd person), spelling, punctuation, and anything else that may be wrong with it, such as consistency. It is an original SLASH fiction that will have co-authors on (maybe, I hope). They have been warned about having someone check through their work. I'd like this person to be very consistent and active.

    Another thing I'd like them to monitor is the plotline. They'll probably be told about it when they PM me so that way they can keep an eye on how fast the romance is moving and so on (because I don't want the romance to move too quickly). More details will be given with more questions, and please don't be hesitant to contact me. Whoever does contact me and becomes the beta will be credited in the story for their efforts.

    Please PM me to contact me. Thank you.

    Hi! *smiles and waves shyly*

    I need someone to just read through my work and help me with any minor errors I may have. I usually proofread myself, but I'm starting to feel like I don't have the time.

    I have a lot of stories that I write, and that I'd need proofreading for. I write fantasy mostly, but not all the time. I also write teen and young adult fiction, adult fiction (not like erotica, as more the piece is for an older generation than myself), pre-teen fiction, comedy/humor, fantasy, a horror (to come), mystery (to come), crime (to come), and war (to come).

    If any of the genres listed interest you then please send me a private message of all the genres you usually read, and I'll see if I have anything that's your cup of tea (ha, I sounded British).

    I typically like the way I word things, but I have aspergers, so sometimes things don't come out the way I want it. So if anything doesn't seem to make sense then I'd like you to help me so that it makes sense, instead of just changing it without my permission. I mostly need help with misspelled words. The auto-correct on my computer has a tendacy to make mistakes on things that I normally wouldn't.

    To put it simply, I'm looking for a beta. =^.^=


    Thank you, and have an awesome day!

    Nevermind! I found someone. :)

    I need a pre-reader for the third chapter - well, fourth if you include the prologue - of this story. I've already sent it to one person for them to check out, but I'd like to get a few additional opinions as well.

    I'm just second-guessing what I have so far. I want honest opinions as to if I need to add something, take something out, or perhaps just start over.

    Also, it's not complete yet, and it hasn't been sent to my beta, so there may be a few errors. Not that I'd mind those errors to be pointed out (on the contrary, I'd appreciate it) but my main need is for opinions on what has been written thus far.

    Thanks in advance. Cute

    Hi,

    My name is Angie - my weakest point is probably punctuation with my stories and slight paragraphing difficulties. My grammar is decent but I confuse past tense at times. If anyone can help me with editing and proof reading, that would be awesome! I'm always trying to improve, so any help is definitely appreciated!
