Periodic call for #betareaders for current collection of noire #shortstories that are a little Poe, a tad Dahl, a bit Gorey. "The Monkey’s Paw" meets "Final Destination", just with stronger female characters and more satisfying deaths

#WritersCoffeeClub ~ How well did this short month go for you, in terms of writing?

#ScribesAndMakers ~ How did your month go?

• #KonginiIdol is being uploaded EP by EP. It's all writing. So I've been a bit at loose ends, writing flash and working on two "new" novels.
• "#Bijou the #TimeTravelingGhost," an Edgar Rice Burroughs X Jack Vance style pulp. I have mixed feelings about it. 20K is written. I need to do another polishing and adaptation pass for broader release. And I need #BetaReaders.
• "#Airiusi: The Crow and the Witch." A Tanith Lee-style Mythpunk story. 5K written. The early release is getting favorable remarks. The main narrator is a #Crows, which is both fun and challenging to write.

If you are into #reading slightly dark short stories that are a bit like "Final Destination" meets "The Monkey's Paw", and would like to get an Advance Reader Copy #ARC collection of #shortstories, then read this blog for details, and ping me here or on GoodReads to get a copy.

In return, I want feedback on anything that was confusing or broken

I’m opening ARC requests for "The Screw Turns, Vol. 9" — dark short fiction collection about bad decisions, institutional failure, and inevitable consequences.

If you enjoy morally sharp, consequence‑driven stories (no gratuitous gore), details here:

📚 Anybody knows a good platform to offer beta-reading for money? Is that a thing? I try fiverr now but the amount of scam mails I got made me sad uh.
Also I would like to start with it in German. Any ideas or experiences? Any tips are appreciated! :)

I’m a beta reader+editor who loves character-driven fantasy. If you ever need feedback on pacing or clarity, my DMs are open.

#ScribesAndMakers – 15 Nov. How is your creativity going so far this month? Would you like help or critique?

Progress I have been away this month, until now. I wrote one chapter using Obsidian. (I was pleased at the low power usage.)

I wouldn't complain, though, and consider this a fallow period where ideas build and I can come at things refreshed and creative.

Help: Always open to someone with a strong understanding of Japan to do cultural and fact-checking. Will do exchange readings in turn.

Hi. I'm looking for #histfic beta readers who can give me reader (not writer) feedback. Novel-length story set in the 14th-century. No magic or dragons. Looking for feedback before year-end. Can't afford to pay, but willing to read your manuscript in return. 77k words in .docx or .pdf
Anyone?

Last week I felt like I was in the middle of a tornado with all the juggling I was doing. Have you ever felt like that?

It's all good, but it's a lot!

Beta readers: your book’s first reality check and why you need it

I’ve just sent the manuscript of my memoir – the follow-up to Not Quite Lost – to beta readers. I announced this on Twitter and immediately was asked: what do you need in a beta reader and where do you find them? Beta…

💾 I finally began translating #Kanteletar to English, and I should be able to share the first two chapters by the weekend. #Solarpunk #Betareaders welcome! 👀

The first section (about 18k words) is about the first steps of reappropriation of the #Corbusier-esque #library, setting the stage for the whole five-century trajectory. An architect friend has also helped me with the design, which is also featured in the book cover:

Finished my second draft of Robbin yesterday and got it out to #betareaders

Today, I’m going to take a break and not write. Feels wrong.

man, I've been rushing around doing stuff all day, and I don't feel like I've gotten much done.

I'm not going to have anything posted this week it looks like. I'm deep in some edits (my edit stack is large) though. Hope I can get Robin edited and find some #betareaders and then get my blog post 2

📚 Beta readers wanted! I've finished my literary fiction/romance novel, of 90,000 words and need fresh eyes for honest feedback, plot, pacing, characters, and all that good stuff. Short form provided. Interested? DM me or comment below! 💛 #amwriting #betareaders #writingcommunity
