Reciprocal Beta Reading. Share story blurbs! May 12, 2026
Welcome to the blurb thread!
This is our sub's equivalent of a writer's group. Come here and share a blurb of your story. The thought is to let everyone see what you're working on so they can think, "Oh hey, that sounds fun. I want to team up with this person."
Then, you share your own story, and the two of you collaborate to improve each other's works.
I've had so many good interactions with people from this thread. Please don't be shy! Even in the age of AI, the best way to improve your writing remains human interaction and critique. I am confident when I say If you don't have this component in your workflow, you're not meeting your potential.
Importantly, this means post every week if you're still hoping to engage. Don't be shy. I want you to do this.
There are tons of reasons why your perfect reader could have missed your blurb last time. Don't be discouraged!
And remember: "I'll read yours if you read mine" isn't just acceptable, it's expected. Reciprocity works.
