Manuscript Matchup
A Beta Reader Program Hosted by History Through Fiction
Now accepting writers for our first quarter cycle (January - March 2025)
Unlock the Potential of Your Manuscript with Our Exclusive Beta Reader Matching Program
Are you ready to elevate your manuscript with invaluable feedback before putting it on submission? Join our unique Beta Reader Matching Program, carefully designed for writers by writers. Hosted by Jillian Forsberg, outstanding author of The Rhino Keeper, this program is your gateway to a community where every word counts and every critique is a stepping stone to success.
Here's how it works:
Complete Our Form: Fill out a simple form that lets us peek into your world – your style, genre, and the heart of your manuscript. This helps us find the perfect match for your work.
Become Part of the Cycle: In our community, giving equals receiving. By submitting your manuscript, you agree to wear the hat of a beta reader too. It's a mutual exchange of insights and perspectives.
Learn from the Best: Before the matchmaking begins, Jillian will host a workshop on how to be an effective beta reader. We believe informed feedback is the best kind.
Discover Your Match: We pair each manuscript with a fellow writer-reader, ensuring a personalized reading experience. Along with the manuscript, you'll receive a set of questions to help steer your review process.
Connect and Reflect: After 3 months of thoughtful reading and critiquing, we reunite for a debrief and social hour. It's a time to share experiences, network, and grow together.
Don't miss this chance to be part of a reciprocal beta reading experience that sharpens your skills, polishes your manuscript, and connects you with like-minded creatives.
Join us. Grow with us. Let's turn your manuscript into a masterpiece, together.
