Looking for a beta reader in the medical industry - YA Fiction

Hello! I'm not sure where the right place is to ask this - I hope it's here!

I'm looking for a couple of beta readers in the medical industry for my completed YA contemporary novel.

The novel's main theme is mental health, specifically eating disorders, depression, and self-harm, and I would really love to find a beta reader in the medical industry who can pinpoint anything that they think might be too triggering for young readers before I start working with an editor.

This is a really important step for me because the novel may be about these strong mental health topics but it's a story of hope, and I want to make sure that's reflected.

The novel follows a teenage girl's journey to recovery through her therapy sessions in an inpatient clinic for eating disorders.

I would be absolutely over the moon if there's anyone here willing to help! I'm also happy to beta read your novel, too.

If you're interested, drop a reply to this thread or email me at [email protected]

Thanks so much,

Sabreen

Hello Sabreen. I'm wondering whether you're still looking for a beta reader. I'm a doctor and have worked a lot in mental health and I've also trained as a journalist. My debut novel is a psychological thriller and I'd love someone to read it. It's been a couple of years since you posted, but please do let me know if you would like to make use of me. Regards - Thomas

Hello Sabreen. I'm sorry I'm three years late. I'm a doctor with a lot of mental health experience. I'm looking for a beta reader of my mystery/psychological thriller. Do you still need a beta reader? Regards Thomas
