TEEN BETA READERS AVAILABLE

[Georgia McBride]

Hi crit seekers. Members of the YA(LitCHat) Review Board are available to beta-read your manuscript (partial). Often a teen's perspective can make all the difference in helping your mss standout in voice, story/conflict/resolution and authenticity. To be fair and make sure that everyone has a chance to receive feedback, your mss must be complete, spell-checked and the first five pages should have already passed through our First Pages group. Once you are ready, PLEASE reply to this note. I will contact you with details on next steps. Betas will provide feedback onthe first 25 pages of your manuscript. I hope you find this useful. Thanks to Joyce Lansky for the idea.

Okay - where do I sign Bandits up? This is wonderful. Maybe now I can stop pouncing on my kids friends.

[Katy Upperman]

I'd love to take advantage of this opportunity! Please let me know what the next step is!

Crapola. I didn't catch replies to this. Sorry. Please apply to be members of YA(litchat) Review Board. I will approve you and you should upload your twenty five pages (same as first pages) via PDF with your name and title there. This message is for LM PRESTON, KATY UPPERMAN, ROZA MARIE and JOYCE LANSKY. I will pilot test this with you! Once you get feedback on the first 25 pages, we'll see how it goes and whether we want to continue with rest of mss. Sound good? Good luck!

Okay, is it still possible to particpate?

[Georgia McBride]

Sorry, Cate. Not right now. I have a pilot program running right now. Keep on me though. I will have another one of 4 authors ready to go in a few weeks, maybe sooner.

Ooh, I would love to have a teen read my piece whenever someone is available! Thanks for the opportunity :)

I didn't read this until late today cause I've been sooooooo busy. I am still waiting to be added though so I can post my first 25 there. Thanks again and sorry for the late reply...
