Request Beta Readers (Free Service!)
Your first draft is finished... maybe even your second and third. Now it's time to get some quality feedback!  

**This is a free service to all authors with no strings attached. You’ve written a book, we’re just here to help get you some advance feedback before you do final edits and then publish your own book. **


(If you are wanting to BECOME a Beta Reader - Please go here instead)

To request honest feedback from our team of volunteers, simply fill out this form to start the process. Once completed, Henry Street Publishing will:
  • Find you between 1 and 5 Beta Readers to offer you honest feedback on your manuscript.
  • Provide you feedback within 1-4 weeks depending on the length of your manuscript.
  • Act as the sole point of contact for you, the author, and the chosen Beta Readers.

Henry Street Publishing will NOT:
  • Distribute any part of your written work on social media.
  • Discuss your work with anyone other than the chosen Beta Readers.
  • Publish, use, or mishandle your manuscript in any way.

As authors ourselves, we understand the need for control over our own works. Your book is considered copyrighted material and we will treat it as such.

Manuscripts should be a Microsoft Word Doc, double-spaced, with 12 point Time New Romans as the font.

Please add "info@henrystreetpublishing.com" to your contacts list so any communication from us will not end up in the Spam filter. Thank you.
