A Buddy Read is SO much more than a Beta Read!
At The Author Buddy, our team of professional readers provide so much more than a standard Beta Read. Not only does our team share valuable reaction feedback so you can see exactly how your story is hitting with your ideal audience, but we also have the expertise to evaluate your manuscript within your intended genre and tropes, and deliver valuable feedback and suggestions to take your book to the next level!
Your readers are true author buddies, here to support you through the writing and revisions process ready to help make sure your story shines its brightest!
We specialize in all subgenres of Romance, and we also have readers for Sci-Fi and Fantasy, YA, Women’s Fiction, and more.
