For authors, publishers & editorial teams
From your first manuscript to a full catalog under contract, BetaReadIt keeps access controlled, feedback structured, and every round connected to the last.
For Authors
You've finished a draft and need real, structured feedback before you go further.
For Publishers
You're running beta rounds across multiple titles and collaborators, and need one system, not ten inboxes.
What you get
Security by design
Your manuscript is never downloadable. No copy, no right-click, no printing from the reader. Dynamic watermarking, links that expire, access you can revoke in one click, and an NDA with tracked acceptance for every reader.
Know who's really reading
Real reading coverage, not just "opened the file". Unusually fast reading is flagged automatically, so a returned survey never makes a skimmed book look finished. Chapter-by-chapter ratings show where the pacing works and where it drops.
Feedback you can act on
Tags (Character, Setting, Plot, Pacing, Clarity), severity (Minor, Major, Blocker) and heatmaps surface the pattern across twenty readers instead of twenty disconnected comments. Reply to any note and mark it resolved from your dashboard.
One place, not ten
Progress, votes, highlights and surveys all land in the same dashboard, automatically, instead of spreading across email threads, shared documents and spreadsheets nobody keeps up to date.
Built to grow with you
From a single manuscript to a full catalog with a team behind it. Roles and permissions work per project, so nothing has to be rebuilt the day you go from author to publisher.
Versions that remember everything
Every republish creates a new version, comparable chapter by chapter with the one before it, so nothing from an earlier round is ever quietly lost along the way.
A direct line to every reader
Message any reader in the context of their book, where the conversation belongs, instead of chasing it through a scattered email thread weeks after they wrote it.
Data that's yours to take anywhere
DOCX with real Word comments, or CSV for your own analysis, whenever you need the work outside BetaReadIt. Nothing you collect here is locked in.
Need more readers than the ones you already know? The Reading Room lets you invite readers to a project beyond your own list. They see genre, cover and synopsis, and accept before anything else opens up.
A quiet advantage: a beta reader who later becomes an author is a future paying customer you never had to acquire.
Every format
How we protect your manuscript
Controlled, tracked and revocable access, from the first invite to the last chapter.
Simple, honest pricing
Pay for capacity, not per feature. Beta readers are always free.
