getithereHello, I'm looking for a beta and can't remember the name of the site where I found one in the past. I don't think the site is active anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can find someone? (I apologize to the mods if this request is not permissible and I will delete it promptly if it is inappropriate.) Thanks, Laura
Betas found! Thanks so much to all that responded!

If that doesn't pan out, there is a category over at MW for people willing to beta. I would also be willing to volunteer for it if you aren't successful in your search; I've done beta work for several other authors - just send me a PM if you want me to help.
I'm glad to hear you're writing a new QAF story. Good luck; I'll be looking forward to reading it. ~Kim

I put in an inquiry at MW but haven't heard anything yet. Perhaps others that come to this site might have some leads.
I really appreciate your offer, especially since you probably have a full, if not overflowing, plate. Hopefully, I won't have to impose, but... well, betas for QAF are hard to come by these days. Again, I really appreciate the offer.
All the best,
Laura

Write to me if you want to discuss it further.

All the best,

Another place you could possibly try in future, though, is here:

It's not quite as busy as it was when first started, but looking for betas is one of the specific things they mention on their profile.
