For beta readers
Whether you're invited to a project or creating your own reader profile, BetaReadIt gives you a real reading experience, complete privacy for your notes, and a library that follows you across every author and publisher you read for.
What you get
A real
e-reader
Themes, fonts, text size, margins, scrolling or paginated mode. It reads like an already-published book, not like marking up an attachment somebody emailed you.
Pick up where
you left off
Phone, tablet or computer, with bookmarks and progress that follow you across devices. Close the book on the bus, open it again at your desk.
However you start,
it's easy
Invited by an author with one link and no password, or sign up yourself with Google, GitHub or email, choosing whether you are here to read, to publish, or both.
The right tools
while you read
Highlight, comment, react and mark a favourite, all anchored to the exact passage, so the author sees precisely what you were reacting to.
What you write
stays yours
No other reader ever sees your notes. Your feedback still counts in full for the author, but your reading stays private between the two of you.
Know what you
are getting into
You see genre, cover and synopsis before you commit to anything, so you are never surprised halfway through by a book that was never for you.
One library, every author
"My Books" gathers everything you have access to in one place, with filters to find the title you are looking for however many authors you read for.
Optional public profile
Get noticed by authors and publishers looking for readers like you, and only if you choose to turn it on. Off by default, always.
Not just manuscripts
Read illustrated books and comics in the same place and the same easy way, with a reader built for pages and panels rather than paragraphs.
