Well these mentorship programs are run by qualified professionals who are editors, authors and who have been in the industry for a while. Plus they're all part of associations that are regulated so I know their advice is legit. I wouldn't go for anyone else with these qualities

Guidance that the manuscript hits right, whether or not my query letter is good and my synopsis is appropriate.

In the last year and a half: 5 completed manuscripts, 2 WIPs, character art commissioned, beta readers recruited. a lot of submissions sent into the void Today I’m looking back at the slightly terrifying, very exciting shift from ghostwriter to author. hannahballer.com

Sorry but that's a beta read not a reader reaction

I have finished my line edit of MASKED AT MIDNIGHT, and I'm looking for a small group of romance readers to give the manuscript one final read before I begin querying! Expect: friends-to-lovers, small town/village community, secret identity and Scottish. If this sounds like your thing, comment or DM

Hi, what sort of help are you offering? I have no budget right now for paid betas

Hannah Baller @thewritingsofhan.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
That is the beta reading. Funds are low so I cannot pay anyone

I have only requested Arc-level feedback which is free

Hannah Baller @thewritingsofhan.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
Would this on a voluntary basis?
