Just sent you an email, Doug. Thanks again for the opportunity. I’m looking forward to reading the sample and answering your questions.

For 8,000 words, my rate would be $40. That covers the cold read, letting you know when I’ve finished, and giving you thoughtful, reader-focused answers to the three questions. If that works for you, feel free to DM me and we can sort out the details.

The 1962 Oregon coast setting immediately caught my attention. I’d love to hear what kind of feedback you’re hoping to get from your first-chapter readers, especially with multiple lives intertwining. Are you mainly testing character, pacing, or the overall hook?

@cjmacready.bsky.social Hey C.J., thanks for the follow! Your “Project 98272364” post made me laugh 😂 I know how easily writers can end up with a dozen ideas competing for attention. What’s Project 1 about, and are you planning to get outside feedback once the draft is done?

020

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Absolutely, I’m open to it. Psychological erotic horror sounds especially interesting, and I appreciate you checking first. I’d be happy to beta read it and give you honest feedback on the atmosphere, psychological tension, characters, pacing, and overall reader experience.

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Of course! I actually meant it. I’ve noticed you’ve been putting out quite a few short pieces lately. Do you usually write them as standalone stories, or are some of them pieces from bigger ideas you’re working on?

000

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Haha, obviously 😂 Now I’m curious about the actual chapter though. What part was hardest to make deliberately terrible without accidentally making it genuinely good?

000

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

This is honestly the part that matters most. Likes and follows can make a post look busy, but having someone actually sit down, read the work, and tell you what stayed with them is a whole different thing. Your recent fiction definitely makes me curious.

That sounds cool 😎 What genre are you writing?

000

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I do enjoy exploring horror stories, would you love me to be your beta reader?

100

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Stuck in a cycle of endless rewriting? Sometimes you just need outside feedback to tell you what is working so you can move forward. Let’s get you unstuck. DM me to discuss a beta read. #WritingCommunity #WritersLife #AmWriting #WriterSky #Writing #Writers

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Honestly, the “terrible on purpose” part is what makes this interesting 😂 I’m curious whether the joke is staying fun once the romance and characters start getting serious. That’s usually where parody projects get tricky.

100

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Can you add me to your beta reader list?

000

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

That makes sense. You can polish the writing perfectly and still miss something a fresh reader might stumble over. Do you usually get any outside reader feedback before you publish, or do you rely mainly on your own editing?

110

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Haha, then you’ve definitely got a solid test audience. If their reactions match what you’re aiming for, that’s a great sign. Once the draft is finished, are you planning another round of feedback, or moving straight into revisions?

000

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Six editing passes is a lot, so at this stage, reader clarity is definitely worth focusing on. I’d be curious to see how an outside reader experiences the opening. Have you had anyone beta-read specifically for clarity and reader confusion?

000

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

That makes sense. With a bold concept like this, keeping the timeline clear while preserving the mystery must be tricky. Are you handling the editing yourself, or have you had readers or editors look at it yet?

110

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I'd love to beta read your book, what is the book about?

000

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Need feedback fast? I’m offering a quick-turnaround beta read for short stories or novellas this week. Let’s get your project finished. DM for rates and availability! #BetaReader #WritingCommunity #EdiSky #WriterSky #AmWriting #Authors #Writers #BookSky #AuthorSky #IndieAuthors

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That’s actually a great setup for getting honest reactions, especially since they already know the story. Do you feel their feedback catches the emotional beats you’re unsure about, or do you still find yourself second-guessing those scenes afterward?

110

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That “someone stole his death” idea is such an intriguing hook. I love how waking up when he should be dead raises questions about identity and who’s really in control. What was the trickiest part of blending the mystery with the speculative side?

101

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That sounds like such a fun mix. I especially like the low-world-stakes/high-personal-stakes balance. Since it’s with betas now, what kind of feedback are you most hoping they’ll catch before you query?

110

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That actually sounds like a really strong emotional core. And I totally get the emotional-scene struggle. Since you know every beat already, it’s hard to judge the impact fresh. Do you usually get feedback on those scenes while drafting, or mostly after the draft is done?

110

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Wow! What inspired you to write the book?

000

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

That sounds like such a fun mix! Three weeks for a first draft is seriously impressive too. What’s the story about, and what part has been the most challenging to write so far?

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

@emilybyrdwrites.bsky.social Hey! Welcome to Bluesky. I came across your page and saw you're a writer. I'm always curious what writers are creating, so, what are you currently working on?

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Welcome to BookSky! A cozy fantasy called Maps, Magic, and Mimics already has my attention. I’d love to hear what makes your world feel uniquely cozy. Are you looking for beta readers yet?

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I’d keep it focused, but the right bio details can absolutely help an agent remember you. I help authors sharpen query packages so the bio supports the story instead of competing with it. Happy to take on a few authors for this if you’re interested!

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Wow! That is my favourite genre, I would be happy to connect with you. Are you working on any draft currently?

Chapter 1 is where the story really starts to show its potential. I’d be happy to read it as a beta reader and share honest thoughts on pacing, characters, flow, and what stands out to me as a reader. What genre is Nova Dreams?

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I’m definitely down for a good survival story, especially with an underdog at the center. 👀 I’d be happy to read a chapter or two and give you honest beta feedback. What kind of feedback are you most hoping to get?

Does your ending feel earned, or does it feel rushed? A beta reader ensures your climax is satisfying and leaves readers wanting more. DM me to book a read-through for your manuscript. #BetaReader #WritingCommunity #EdiSky #BookSky #WriterSky #IndieAuthors #AmWriting #AspiringAuthors #WipSnips

Bonjour, Bluesky. I’m brand new here. I moved to a small California mountain town, accidentally became Chamber president, wrote a memoir about it, then spun up a tiny indie press to publish the damn thing. Looking for my community: writers, readers & indie publishers 👋 #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Halloween beta reading sounds fun! 👀 What genre is the book, and what kind of feedback are you hoping to get from your beta readers?

000

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Totally fair! I get that. I’d still be happy to read it if you ever want another set of eyes on it. The premise genuinely caught my attention.

000

Tunmise Samuel Brower @critiquewithme.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

That sounds like a really intriguing setup, especially the unknown listener and the colonized planet’s history. Is the story more focused on her personal journey or the larger history she’s revealing?
