Beta Reader Call! 

Hi friends! I’m looking for a beta reader (or two) to give feedback on my VERY rough completed first draft of a contemporary queer romance/WLW novel. It’s a heartwarming, emotional, and intimate story about two best friends who end up in a surprise Vegas marriage—only to discover they’re expecting a baby.

Genre: Contemporary WLW Romance / Queer Domestic Drama

Length: Approx. 60,629 words (I’m looking to get it up to 70k)

Content Tags: Accidental pregnancy, friends-to-lovers, secret marriage, queer rep, chosen family, birth scenes, emotional healing, moderate spice, single-parent backstory, hurt/comfort

CW: Pregnancy complications (non-fatal), difficult ex, fertility struggles (in epilogue)

Looking for feedback on:

• Character development + emotional arcs

• Pacing and structure

• Believability of relationship progression

• Any parts that felt confusing, repetitive, or lacking payoff

• General impressions and reactions

• Continuity

If you love messy love stories, slow burn emotional intimacy, and queer joy with a sprinkle of angst and domestic fluff, this one’s for you.

Note: I’m chronically ill and have been writing this story in pieces since 2022- some things may not make sense or line up due to my illnesses and how I’ve been writing (damn brain fog and forgetfulness). Continuity checking is important.

I cannot provide swap services at this time. I work and I’m in school on top of being ill.

I’m a sensitive person when it comes to my art. Offer me advice wrapped up in praise and not just harsh red pen all over my work.

Just drop a comment or DM me. Thanks in advance for your time and support!
