Beginner proofreader or beta reader available (free)

augusto9046 2026-08-28 18:38:55 UTC #1

hello everyone, I'm a student of 19 yo and I’m currently looking to get into beta reading and proofreading, and I’d love to gain some experience by helping out other creators.
I’m an avid reader of manga, manhwa, manhua and novels mostly adventure, isekai, fantasy, regression, and comedy, though I’m totally open to checking out other genres as well!
I already tried sending text to some group that were searching for this type of role but the position are all full.
Since I'm still without experience, I’m offering my services for free right now. If you want to test the waters first, I’m more than happy to do a quick trial on a single/multiple chapter so you can see if my style works for you.
I can provide a grammatical or sentence cohesion correction as well as a small phrase/comment on how to modify it to improve the story...

If you want to DM me you can do it here or on other apps, I'm at your disposal

Hello!

I'm a beginner novel writer with a few different projects under my belt. I currently do all my own editing, but even after multiple passes, I often find that certain sentences still feel off or the flow suddenly breaks. This has led me to redo edits multiple times, which eats up a lot of time and ends up delaying my updates.

I'd really love some help, but unfortunately, I can't offer payment at the moment. What I'm looking for is someone who can:

Catch typos and grammatical errors I might have missed
Check sentence structure and overall fluidity
Review dialogue for naturalness

I realize I might be looking for more of an editor than a strict proofreader. If you think you'd be the right fit, I have some ongoing projects I'd love to share with you. Let me know if you're interested!

Yeah I can try it... I almost never use Tapas, so I’m still not very familiar with it. Is there any chance you could send me your work? That way I can take a look... otherwise we can also write to each other somewhere else.

Hello! If you have time, you might also consider reviewing my novel. It's in a very early stage—a light novel. You can proofread and critique it if you wish. I need to know if I'm capable of doing anything right now.

I'm also new to Tapas. If you'd like, we can discuss it on Discord, WhatsApp, or whatever platform you prefer.

I'm always looking for feedback and help with proofing!
It's a dystopian series with found family, finding oneself and some romance in the ashes of a broken world.

Book 1 - Veil of Ashes

Book 2 - Veil of Flames

Hello,
I would love to work with you.
When it comes to writing, grammatical errors, typos, dialogue rigidity, etc all create problems. Us authors aren't all good at managing these things.
For example, myself. I think of the plot in my mind and sometimes when I write, a few words have already passed through in my mind and I forget to write it, directly moving to the next, which creates a small gap in the sentences which affects readers experience.
If you don't mind, you can check out my novel on Tapas for starters. I would be happy to hear your criticisms and suggestions regarding my novel.
You can contact me on dc. My username is: yuukishindo.
My novel link is given below:

Later, we can collaborate on my other projects.
