: Re: Where to find beta readers? Since I left my writer's group out of personality issues, invariably somebody becomes a know-it-all, it's been a real struggle to find people willing to invest time.

As a previous answer mentioned, fictionpress.com is one site that offers connection to beta readers. Outside of that side though, there are plenty of places that offer beta services.

Critique Circle www.critiquecircle.com/ is a popular writing community
Tumblr has some blogs that are devoted to pairing beta readers with writers. One google search will do the trick!
Goodreads.com www.goodreads.com/group/show/50920-beta-reader-group provides a discussion forum of sorts to find a beta reader as well as advertise your own beta services.
World Literary Cafe www.worldliterarycafe.com/forum/125 also offers to pair beta readers and writers.

With this, networking will be your best friend, even if it is just within your community. Social media sites can advertise your need for a free or low cost beta reader. Many places have local writing groups (who I find often meet in local libraries) that you can probably join and make a "mutual beta relationship" with another reader.
