Hello!
Call me Mermaid. My pen name goes back and forth between Mermaid and Rena. Both are actual extensions of my real name. I hope to write diverse novels with characters and settings, as well as Latin and LGBTQ themes. I also want to help many aspiring or published authors as a beta reader. I have previous experience and would love to help people out in their beta reading process in a new community. This is one of the major reasons I have joined. Just contact me via here or email at

renabusinessofficial@gmail.com

Nice to meet all of you!

Hello Mermaid!
Welcome to YWS! The site is pretty easy to navigate (personally) but if you have a question ask a member in green, red, or even me, and we'll be happy to help you out.
I'm also very diverse in my writing, and mostly write cultural things. My two main projects as of now are latin/native american, and french.
I hope you enjoy your time here!

Hi Mermaid! Welcome to YWS!

It can be difficult for some writers to find beta readers for their finished novels, so I'm thrilled that you're so passionate about it. You should check out the Novel Workshop forum where you can beta read for fellow users :)

Otherwise, I hope you take advantage of all the other fun parts of this wonderful site. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me :) Those in light green, dark green, red, or black are moderators or admins and we are here to help!

See you around!
