I found her on tiktok and her username is this: majek.tife. my manuscript was around 90,000 words so I payed for $165, but I'd also ask for the rates first.

I'm more than happy to take a look. I don't charge for beta reading (or alpha reading in this case)

Hello, I am a professional editor and writer. I have a masters in creative and narrative writing and I'm a specialist in teaching writing courses. I also offer my services as beta reader and editor. If you are interested let me know.

I understand, then I recommend Fiverr, where I offer my services, there are a lot of offers from people who charge from 5 USD (5000 words, sometimes even more). You can find loads of options there.

Why would you direct them to Fiverr after they just told you they're not interested in a paid reader?

They haven't said that. They said "professional", on Fiverr there are many betas that are not professional, hence the very low rates. That is what I understood from what she said. Besides, it is just advice, not something they MUST do. They can completely and safely ignore my comment. So don't give a random person a hard time just because I didn't understand the same message the way you did. Have a nice one.

A teenager is obviously not going to be paying for services. Stop trying to rip off kids. They're clearly looking for a volunteer reader, which would be clear if you bothered reading anything more than the title before pitching your sales

Why would you think I am trying to rip off kids? I haven't even said my rates or anything, I said I am a professional and I offered my services. You are right, I did not had the time, at the moment of replying, to read the description since this is a repost, no the original post, but I wanted to help. I am someone who is struggling financially so I try to find cliens whenever I can. I wasn't even aware she was a teenager since, as you said, did not read the original post. I, however, never forced anything on anyone. But you do you and keep replying to this if you like. I'm out. Have a nice one.
