Whether you write mini-books or full length novels, the process of getting your book read by a beta reader should take as little as a few days to a few weeks. You set the timeframe.

All you need is a several online resources and a first draft.
You’ll get the kinks out of your manuscript, like the repeated words and unnecessary scenes. You’ll find what interests your readers and what makes them want to stop reading your book.
