Looking for partners to Beta-Read

Hello there, today I am looking for someone who can beta-read some of my works. In exchange, I will beta-read your works as well.

I write in 3rd person, currently writing an urban fantasy stories with dark humor and interesting characters. I do not like to give summaries of my works because I suck at marketing them so I would much rather give you the first chapter where you can decide whether this story is for you or not.

I also would like to meet at discord, as Reddit can get pretty crazy with messages.

Anyway, if you are interested send me a message. See you later:)

Sci-fi/fantasy critique partner, 32k words written

I'm writing a cyberpunk lit-RPG about a down-on-his-luck man who falls into a vat of ice cream and gets frozen for ~100 years or so. When he wakes up, the former union organizer finds himself in a corpratocracy hellscape in which he must participate in increasingly dangerous challenges set up by influencers and streamers to earn money.

I'm hoping to write something entertaining and comical in the same vein as dungeon crawler carl, death loot and vampires, or the ripple system. I thoroughly enjoy editing and providing feedback. I also love fantasy and sci-fi outside of lit-rpg if that's what you're writing and want a critique partner

Creating a group to share ideas (+21yo)

Hi, I'm "Radiase" (28M); creating/writing stories is one of my favorite activities; through the years I've created/imagined lots of stories, enjoying the creative process and the whole "mental movie", sometimes writing down the stories in different formats (short novels, poems, lyrics).

I want to share some of those stories/ideas to people that could find them interesting, critique them or find them useful; Also, I would love to help others with their stories or to create new ones.

So, as the title says, the goal is to make a small group of people(+21yo) to share ideas and help each other with the whole creative process.

*first read the rules*


Rules:

1* Respect each other (basic manners)

2* English only (doesn't matter where are you from, as long as you can speak English)

3* +21yo

4* Romance: NO Erotic Scenes allowed. (normal hug&kiss=ok)


banned:

1-Themes: Politics&Social Issues-News-Sports-Nonsense

2-Genre/subgenre (banned!): Erotic-Horror-Scifi-Futuristic-Aliens-Zombies-FanFic

3-Forbidden to idolize people: Being " too fan' " makes you lose objectivity

4-Jesters...


It will be a small group, so if you are interested, comment or just send a DM.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day/night!

Looking for co-author for fantasy/fiction/sci-fi - Starting together from a scratch

Hi everyone!

This might be a long shot, but I'll try anyway. I always wanted to write a book in the genres mentioned above (although I wouldn't mind including additional elements, such as romance, magic, horror…), but I find myself feeling more inspired and task oriented when writing with someone else.

I'd love to write a compelling story with impactful characters set in an interesting world. It would be something we would build from a scratch, so I'm looking for people who are serious about sticking with the project and are willing to put in the effort. Ideally, it'd be done 50-50, something we both like and something we both contributed to.

Aside from that, I'd be happy with writing along someone who's serious about their work. We could keep tabs on each other, help bounce off of ideas, beta read and such.

If you're interested, DM me or leave a comment. Hope to hear from you!

I'm looking for a co-writer, Polish speaker, to write an epic story in my own fantasy-Slavic universe.

I have some ideas and a partially created world and elements of universe. I would like to write a full-fledged "hero's journey" novel, consisting of several volumes, settled in Slavic like world.
However, I have a feeling that it's a bit stiff, I would need a woman's hand to make it more flexible and natural and I just prefer to write with woman.
If you found that idea interesting send me a chat request or PM.
And no, there will be NO sexual content.

22M looking for Lovecraftian style writing partners

Hi! I've been reading a lot of those Cthulhu mythos, weird tales and I love them so much.

Looking for fellow writers who are into the lovecraftian mythos too to just bounce off ideas and knowledge. I'll admit I don't know the deeper technical lore like who is Yog Sothoth's mother or how many children Azathoth has. I'm more focused on the human side of thing, the smaller grounded elements of people uncovering these ancient entities and being unable to comprehend them.

If you're also into such, please hit me up and we can write a few stories together.

I'm currently writing the first draft of my first short story in years. This one is focused on the Yellow King. A low-key psychological, weird horror short story. I have everything planned out, just need to write the actual story now.

Also with a few short stories planned after this so hit me up and we'll help each other out.

looking for a writing partner for my first personal project (18f)

Hey! I'm Arielle/Noelle.

I have just started my own personal project and I have some ideas but I need some help really getting started and learning how to produce a story. I am really interested in dystopian fiction (science fiction) and I want someone who will work alongside me to bounce ideas off and learn to build an immersive story with.

I am open to your ideas and changes but all I know is that I want to remain close to my world-style of a dystopian world under totalitarian rule... but in a steam-punk kind of vibe. I'm an experienced artist so I can draw characters - I just need help solidifying this.

I don't intend for this to be moved to publishing, but I am totally open to it if that is something that is wanted. I am completely open-minded. I really need help with this and want someone who is as passionate as I am and committed to writing alongside me. After my deadline is met I would love to help you with any projects you may have.

I am considering building a team of people to work on this but thought I might give Reddit a try (this is my first ever post lol)

Searching For Writing Buddies For Comedy Horror TV Series

I'm writing the outline of a comedy horror series. It's called Rising From The Graves. Here's the premise: In a world overrun by the undead, a ragtag gang of misfits must navigate the treacherous landscape of the zombie apocalypse, battling both the relentless hordes and their inner demons. As they strive to survive, the group unravels the mysteries shrouding this nightmarish new reality, discovering that the key to humanity's future may lie buried in the secrets rising from the graves. It takes inspiration from Attack on Titan, Gintama, Edgar Wright and the Walking Dead. Feel free to hit me up if you're interested in DM's. I'll also help you with your projects as best as I could.

My discord is Joy530#1863.

Looking for a writing partner to exchange work and feedback

I'm (35M) looking for someone to exchange work, ideas, feedback, and encouragement with. I've been writing for most of my life, but only for the past few years have I decided to pursue publication. I write fiction, fantasy, children's books, short stories, and recently began work on a non-fiction book about love and grieving. I'm getting lost in the weeds on this book and having an outside perspective would be great. I'd be more than happy to read your work and provide feedback and encouragement as well! I think having an accountability partner would help me push through to the finish line.

I'm in the U.S. central time.

Cheers!

Seeking draft writer to co-author epic series [Medieval/Magic/Fantasy]

YA 14+ target audience. LotR/Witcher/ASoIaF vibes.

I've planned out 4-5 books in bullet point; ~300k words, to be expanded to ~1.5 mil words. Everything is mapped out, and I've tried to keep it as flexible as possible.

Looking for an experienced draft writer, who is capable and confident enough to deviate from the BP manuscript periodically -- to incorporate their own ideas throughout this lengthy project (important). I'd be editing and adding paragraphs to the first draft.

Looking for a writing buddy: spec fic, Aussie

Hi all. I am relatively new to my writing journey (~6 months) and have successfully set up my writing habit - the bug has well and truly settled in. I am seeking a writing buddy to get out of the bubble I have concocted for myself. I am looking for someone with whom I can bounce ideas around, read each other's work, offer critique/feedback, and provide new perspectives on writing and storytelling.

Some criteria:

  • Interested in writing spec fic
  • Based in Australia
  • Similar level of experience: newbie but in the swing of an established writing habit. I think it would be great to develop alongside someone else.

Ping me and we can take it from there. Cheers.

Writing Partner?

Looking for a fellow teen writer to bounce ideas off of and read over each other’s work. I(16f) have around 50,000 words so far of different scenes following the same general plot line.

A little more about my novel: It’s fantasy with sci fi elements. I’m writing mainly from one pov with some scenes for other povs.

If you’re interested, we can connect on discord, gmail, or whatever you’re comfortable with :)

Seeking fellow BIPOC writers for an accountability, brainstorming, and editing/critiquing partnership

Hi everyone!

As the title says, I am looking for fellow Brown & Black writers who are looking to stay motivated to write, bounce ideas off of someone else, and get their work edited/critiqued/beta-read. A little about myself: I am a non-binary Filipino who primarily writes fiction but has an extensive history in writing non-fiction. I have professional experience with non-fiction writing (journalism), copywriting, and editing, and am looking to write a book that will get properly published one day. Currently, I am working on two long-term novels/stories, one of which is supposed to be a rom-com/thriller esque type of story, and the other is a high fantasy series in a world I've built. On occasion, I like writing short stories that pop into my head as well. I've been writing since I was in elementary school, so I guess I could say that I've been writing for well over two decades.

I'm looking for a mutually beneficial partnership where we can bounce ideas off of each other, keep each other motivated to keep writing, beta-read/edit for the other, and give each other notes regarding our work. I'm open to helping with just about any kind of writing, from poetry to essays/research papers to low fantasy to HFY sci-fi. I'm also open to sensitivity reading for folks as well, and I'm pretty fantastic at research, so I'm happy to help folks who may need help with researching things for their work.

I am also open to working with white folks; I specified Black and Brown folks initially because pretty much all of my work is purposefully written against the white gaze and tend to have themes centering around race, imperialism, gender identity, queerness, systemic inequity, and ableism. Although I am myself not an expert and I'm not expecting potential writing partners to be, I'd at least like to partner up with folks who are sensitive to these issues.

Looking for a writing partner to bounce ideas off of

I’m working on the first draft of a satirical sci-fi! I’ve been developing it for a while now but sometimes you need another perspective to know if something is working, y’know? I haven’t written much but maybe we can read each other’s WIPs and give feedback chapter to chapter? I’d prefer if you were working on something in a similar genre.

We can also write fun short stories together if that’s something you’re interested in!

DM me here, tell me about your WIP, I’ll tell you about mine, and let’s move to discord if it all works out!

Outside perspective help needed!

Hi all,

I have been working on my first ever long, creative piece. I have found some amazing writing partners on this sub who have been so helpful in the planning and rough draft stages, but I was hoping to find another writing partner (or multiple!) who would be willing to just fill in the role of alpha-reader.

I really would love to get the thoughts and opinions of someone who doesn't know where the story is going to receive their honest feedback on clarity and character engagement. Since my current partners know where I am trying to take the story, I know I won't be able to see if I "tricked them" with any twists or if the actual world-building is engaging for a first read.

In return, I am happy to read over creative pieces, screenplays, or short stories of any kind. I have background as a writing tutor as well as a major in English and a love of reading, so I feel confident in saying I can help with clarity, grammar, brainstorming, or really any stage of a process.

My story is broken up into Acts, and I am currently doing a careful review of Act 1 so that it would be ready to read within the week. If you get to like page 10 and hate it, no problem at all and no hard feelings, I will still 100% help you with whatever is needed.

I never know how much detail to add in these things... so I am happy to elaborate on any part of the above request. The story is a fantasy piece, but not high fantasy. I took a lot of inspiration from superheroes and a few of my favorite YA authors. The target audience I am thinking is in that YA range, but that isn't set in stone, so happy to have readers of any ages. Please let me know if you are interested! I am pretty active on Discord as well if that is easier.

Edit: I am also happy to connect with anyone looking for a true writing partner to share ideas and everything with. I think the more people who can collaborate with me, the more I will learn and improve, so always looking for any kind of writing buddy.

**in need of a writing partner**

Hello! I’m in the midst of creating a story bible for one of my projects. This adult series is something I’ve been working on since last year. The plan is to have it animated.

The dark tone/s in the X-men universe, politics in AOT and treatment of “devils,” and the complexity and exploration of “hero” quirks vs “villain” ones in MHA are huge inspirations. Even though X-men & MHA inspired this project doesn’t mean there are defined, traditional heroes and villains. There are extremist groups, vigilantes, assassins, etc. This society borders dystopia.

To see if we’d gel: 29. I have a bachelors in creative writing. I love world building & researching. I live in a D&D household. My husband only plays RPGs. Anime or SW is always on in the background.

Animated Netflix-specific series I love: Castlevania, Arcane (some of the best examples of female characterization ever, imho), Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

I have a solid foundation. I need someone I can rely on. I need someone to help me tack my ideas down. I’m a neurodivergent, maladaptive daydreamer, so my mind is constantly going, but I need help weaving this story. You don’t have to have screenwriting experience, but that would be preferable. I hope this peaks someone’s interest because I don’t think I can do this on my own.

writing/art buddy!

hii! I’m looking for a creative buddy to help me on my art journey, reviewing what I write/draw and bouncing my ideas off! I would love to review their work back, I’ve done this before, and I enjoy looking deeply into projects! I can be kind of shallow and switch between projects, but that’s one of the things I aim to work on!
right now the main thing I am working on is understanding my directions in terms of art - what ideas I want to express and what type of art will work with that. I do wanna go deeper into concept art with a bit of animation or into funfiction writing.
I am 18 and would prefer to find someone my age/older. I hope some of you will be interested!

Got a writing-related Discord community? Post it here!

We're going to try to keep it all in one place; for the time being we're going to only allow Discord communities to drop their links, description, and details in this post. Any others will be removed.

Keep in mind this is for community adverts only; if you're just using Discord as a single writer as a preferred method of contact, then you're all good.

This post will repost monthly, so you can link your Discord community once in each new post (once a month).

A writing buddy for political writing?

Hiya, I am a researcher who can be great at the research part but not so much at the disseminating part. Looking for someone who can critique my writings while I do the same for them.

I mostly write on topics related to revolutionary politics, which aligns with the volunteer work I do as well.

Hmu and we can have a chat :)
