I am looking for a beta read to read my final draft before I submit it to an editor. Its a novel of 59,000 word count and the genre are- thriller/mythology/adventure/science fiction. Brief summary of my novel- The story is about Abhay Sharma, a young college student in Bhopal who embarks on a journey to expose an ancient secret. In the process, he uncovers an alien weapon that re-establishes the forgotten bond that Earth shared with Planet Astra. This uncovering of the weapon awakens an evil being that was hibernating in the cold glaciers of Himalayas. Named Ghora, he is the only human being who can activate the alien weapon, and his evil intentions to destroy mankind move the story. In an attempt to save Earth from destruction, an alien being from Astra communicates with Abhay to share a hidden truth about Lord Shiva. What is the connection between Earth and Astra? What is the rationale behind Ghora’s evil intentions? What is the connection between Shiva and planet Astra? These questions will be answered in the first part of this series. The story's setting is based in India and it has some Yoga and Hinduism puzzles. What's your take on my work? You think you will be interested to read it? And are you familiar with India/ Yoga n so on? Please do let me know. Have a great day :)

Hi there Thanks for such a detailed project description! I'm massively interested in the Hindu Gods and really enjoy a mythological / fantasy read, so I'm certainly interested in taking this on. I'm an independent editor with publishing experience, 10 years as an English teacher and lecturer in Creative Writing, and a Master's in Linguistics. I suppose you could say editing was a logical career step! As I've worked with publishers, I know what they expect in terms of a final edit and can add this to my linguistic expertise and knowledge of structure, voice and personification to offer a really full and comprehensive end product. Get in touch and we can talk about your deadlines and expectations, and we can go through a sample together. Have a great day Simon Richardson

Hi, I'd be happy to beta read your novel. I currently run my own editing business, where I routinely proof and edit all kinds of texts: essays, dissertations/theses, fiction, articles, etc.. I’ve worked as an editor on two fiction magazines in recent years. Some details about me: - Native English speaker - BA and MA degrees (English), CELTA qualified - Published novelist, short story writer and poet - Managed an editing and proofreading service for several years As a beta reader I would give you a reader's perspective, i.e. a straightforward critique of story, character, style and readability. You can expect 1 or 2 pages of notes (or more if I felt I needed to explain something), and I'd be available to answer any specific question you had for me after I finished reading, and after you read my notes. I am dedicated to my business and would be happy to work with you to get the work done to a high standard by your deadline or sooner. For testimonials, please view my profile or visit my website: STPediting(dot)wordpress(dotcom)/testimonials/ Please consider me for the job. I look forward to hearing from you. David

Hi, my name is Jackie, and I'm a writer and editor specializing in creative fiction, and especially sci-fi. I would love to read through your novel and provide feedback! I'm a native English speaker with impeccable grammar skills. I also have a keen eye and ear for characterization, voice, flow, sentence structure, story arc, and plot. My passion is well-polished, great writing -- in the past year, I've edited more than twenty-five written works, including children's books, novels, screenplays, magazine articles, and business publications. I am currently a writer and associate editor with a publication in my city, and I have worked in the past as a newspaper journalist and editor. My BA is in English with a concentration in creative writing. I'm also quite familiar with yoga; in addition to my daily asana practice, I also love reading through the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita. (One of my favorite Upanishads is found in the story of Nachiketas: "When the five instruments of knowledge stand still together with the mind, and when the intellect does not move, that is called the highest state. This, the firm holding back of the senses, is what is called Yoga.") Thanks for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi. I found your story summary very interesting, and possibly less fictional than many people might believe. Here in Brazil, there are legends from many different sources about the influence on our planet of beings from other worlds, as are also indicated in the Mahabharata, the Bible and other ancient writings, depending on your interpretation of certain points. My wife is devoted to Krishna, but we have friends who are devoted to Shiva, with whom we trade stories, so I have quite a bit of contact with Indian philosophies. I have more Buddhist leanings, but I study a wide variety of philosophies. Although I live in Brazil, I am an American writer, researcher, editor, proofreader and translator, a native English speaker with excellent language skills and years of experience at correcting and improving books and other texts for authors from around the world. I can use Word´s Track Changes to show you all my comments and suggestions in your text. I would like very much to work with you on this book (and the rest of the series), doing a beta read to analyze the style, flow, characters, dialog, consistency and clarity of the ideas involved. By extending the time I dedicate to your project and the delivery date, allowing me to take on other work simultaneously, and dividing the text into blocks to be paid separately, I may be able to improve this price. Please contact me for further discussion, Best, David

I am English, but I have dual citizenship of the UK and USA. I am a graduate of Cambridge University in Modern Languages. I spent 26 years at a senior level in international banking, working and living all over the world, and, subsequently, 10 years running my own financial consulting firm for small businesses in Florida. I am now living full-time back in England. Having spent my entire career crafting and reviewing commercial and legal documents, I now apply my skills and experience to provide online assistance to people who require the services of a highly-educated, natural English speaker, familiar with both British and US English language norms. My years of senior level international business and financial activity have taught me the absolute need for integrity, professionalism, reliability, and responsiveness, when it comes to working on projects, especially time-sensitive ones. Putting clients first is a pre-requisite for my professional interactions with all my clients. I believe strongly that I bring a wide array of important attributes to the table for those seeking bids for their various projects, Clients can rely on me not to let them down. As I am new to Freelancer, I seek to make my bids highly competitive, so that I can build a solid profile and reputation for delivering in accordance with, and, hopefully, frequently exceeding, client expectations. I look forward greatly to providing my services to clients on Freelancer. David Stacey, MA

Hello! I have several years of experience in writing, editing, and beta-reading for sci-fi and fantasy. With over 100,000 words of written critique, I have served writers of speculative fiction (sci-fi, fantasy, mythology, supernatural, etc) from North America, Australia, New Zealand, and more. The premise of your novel is fascinating and I believe, if executed properly, it can have great potential. If I am chosen for this project, I would like to know what type of service you would request of me as a beta reader. If I am simply to read and provide a letter outlining strengths, weaknesses, and further direction, I believe $150 USD would be appropriate for the given word count. However, if you are in need of more directed in-line editing and comments, perhaps we may agree to an amount around $200-$250? My rates and return times are negotiable and dependent on what your vision for the project is and what you would like out of me.
