New Feature: Instant inline beta reader feedback

Collecting feedback from beta readers used to mean sending out long surveys, sifting through massive emails, or trying to guess what a reader meant by "Chapter 3 felt a bit off." When someone tells you a scene dragged, it is tough to figure out the exact line where you lost them.

We just rolled out inline feedback inside our web e-reader, and it makes getting real-time reactions on your manuscript super easy.

By the time a beta reader finishes a long work or book, they may have forgotten what they liked about chapter 4. Now, they can let you know as they read without breaking the reading flow or taking them out of the immersive experience of your story.

Reactions made simple

Now, your readers can drop thoughts as they read without breaking their flow. You can say goodbye to tedious questionnaires once and for all.

Your readers just highlight any line that catches their eye or trips them up, then tap a button to leave feedback in seconds:

  • Loved: Flag awesome dialogue, great descriptions, or moments that hit just right.
  • Confusing: Point out plot hiccups, awkward phrasing, or confusing world-building.
  • Typo: Call out quick spelling or grammar fixes without interrupting their reading momentum.

If they want to explain a bit more, they can throw in a quick note alongside their tag.

Everything Organized in One Place

For authors, this makes reading feedback a breeze. Instead of digging through messy files or scattered notes, you get to see every reaction right where it happened, all organized in one place. You can instantly spot which lines readers loved and which ones might need a quick tweak.

All feedback stays private between you and the beta reader who gave you the feedback.

Our new instant inline feedback keeps things fun and effortless for your beta readers while giving you the exact details you need to make your story shine.
