To join
Sound familiar?
A file gets forwarded. Feedback comes back in ten different formats, if it comes back at all. Nobody knows who actually finished the book, or where the pacing fell apart. By the time you have collected it all, you have lost track of what needs fixing.
One place, from invite to insight
Upload your manuscript, invite the readers you choose, and watch real feedback come together in one dashboard, all without the file ever leaving your control.
Built for the people who publish
Security by design
Never downloadable, watermarked, revocable in one click.
Know who's really reading
Real coverage, not just "opened the file".
Feedback you can act on
Tags, severity and heatmaps, not scattered comments.
One place, not ten
No more email, Google Docs and spreadsheets.
Built to grow with you
One manuscript today, a full catalog tomorrow.
Versions that remember everything
Compare chapter by chapter, every round.
From draft to decision
Upload
Import your manuscript; BetaReadIt detects chapters and structure automatically.
Invite
Add the readers you trust, and set a deadline if you want one.
Read & react
Readers highlight, comment, rate chapters, and answer your questions.
Analyse & decide
See patterns, resolve feedback, export what you need, publish your next version.
Built for reading, not just reviewing
Themes, fonts, text size, scrolling or paginated mode, and reading picked up right where they left off on phone, tablet or desktop. Basically, all the comfort of your Kindle, with a feedback loop it never had.

Tested before it was a product
BetaReadIt was not built on assumptions. It ran for months on a real, unpublished novel with real beta readers, and every feature exists because a real beta round needed it.
From early users
Honestly, the biggest thing is just having everything in one place. I’m not digging through emails or trying to remember who sent feedback where.
I liked being able to see where readers were getting stuck without having to message everyone individually. It made the whole process feel a lot less messy.
It’s actually really nice to read in. I can leave a quick note when something stands out and then just keep going without breaking the flow.
