Welcome to the Writer Matching Program from JosieBethGossel.com!
This program is for writers looking for beta readers, manuscript swap partners, and long-term critique partners. You'll fill out a detailed form about your writing, reading preferences, and what you're looking for. Based on your responses, you'll be matched with up to three writers and readers, depending on the number of submissions during the submission period.
The purpose of this program is to provide meaningful introductions between writers. After you receive your matches, it's up to you to reach out and pursue a working relationship. There is no obligation to work with your matches once you've received them.
This is not intended as a marketing platform for paid beta readers or editors. It is for writers looking to exchange feedback.
Please fill out the form in as much detail as possible. This will help ensure the best match.
Note: the program is free for the first twenty members to sign up.
Unlike automated matching services, every submission is reviewed by a real person, not an algorithm. When reviewing, I consider several factors that might go into a good match: genre, manuscript length, experience level, feedback preferences, availability, and reading interests.
This fee helps cover the time required to review submissions, make personalized matches, and the software required to maintain the program.
Thank you for being a part of the Writer Matching Program!
