Beta reading is a hugely popular way of having your manuscript critiqued and reviewed minus the public fear of rejection. If you're ready for a serious review, an in-depth and honest report of your work, and the promise you will have something strong to build on, you are in the right place.

Loyal Lyre has been helping other indie authors for a long time (and been helped in return), but some things never change. You NEED honesty in your beta readers with emphasis on the highs and lows, and wishy-washy backside kissing to avoid hurt feelings is not going make you a stronger, more confident writer.

Grow your skin a little thicker to join that 3% that go the whole mile and finally publish that book that's been stirring in your blood.

It's hard hearing honest opinions, we feel your pain. But it's always better to get a private viewing before you hand it to the world. It's not about being rude and brutal, it's about directly raising problems that will take your potential readers OUT of your story, and offering possible solutions to think about.

Beta reads do not include line editing, proofreading or any level of rewrites. Our tiers are below and start dates will rely on current workloads.
