Hi everyone! My friend, another young writer, recently finished writing a novel for teens, and is looking for beta-readers to give detailed constructive feedback on her manuscript.

It's just under 300 pages long, roughly 54,000 words in length. I believe it falls under the category of contemporary fiction.

If anyone's interested in helping another young writer out, please feel free to reply here or reach out by PM for more information.

Thanks so much!

Hey! Contemporary YA is my favorite and I might be able to help out!

Can you tell us a bit more about what the plot is about?
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Ask a Therapist!
I want to beta read your novel!


Ask me anything. Talk to me about anything. Seriously. My PM box is always open <3

@Carlito, awesome!

I just sent a message to my friend for more details, but from what I've read of the manuscript myself, here's the plot in a nutshell.

After several crises in her family and social life, a shy teenage girl named Stevie begins to question various things in her life that she's been taking for granted, and forms long-lasting bonds with special people in the process. :)



You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
