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. :)
