I found some of my best beta readers on this site. CritiqueMatch.com is another good place to start.
I have used them for book marketing and Facebook advertisement. Being a rookie using their service, I was surprised by their transparency. It is relatively inexpensive and I was able to monitor and coordinate the process. It is worth a try! You canyour focus either international market or American market or etc., . My book genre is christian, nonfiction and prophecy based as well inspirational and is available on Amazon and I've been able to garner 18 reviews and is titled Seven Letters Detailing the Prophetic Framework of Christ return under Gregory Booker. Hope that helps ? Blessings on your adventure. It is creditable and I will use again.
Well, the reason is that I really don't have anyone else or know anyone. I strictly don't let friends or family (with the exception of my husband) read my work. I used to know of a great writing community, but that site went away. I tried a well-known group, but that was useless. All they did was push emails, there was literally nothing but email announcements and a few articles. There was no way to connect. I've had a couple of experiences trading chapters, but people get busy and it's rare that that has worked out. I also have never published anything before, so a fan base is completely non-existent. What I'm trying to do is find some feedback as a starting place to see how my stories are received. My budget is very small, but I'm saving for an edit (from a professional) once I know the story is on track. Punctuation is not my strongest point lol. All in all, I'm looking for a starting point.
