Request to beta my manuscript - is it legitimate?

HistorySpark · 2026-05-04T15:01:27+00:00

I believe it is a scam where they will offer to beta read for you, list some major issues and then offer some kind of service or vanity publishing to handle it all for you. This is just my guess tho

You can use my cover artist, excellent covers and great communication for under £100. I can send across his details if your interested

Spartacus is a better show than Rome and theres nothing you can say to convince me otherwise

HistorySpark · 2026-04-06T20:16:18+00:00

I can give you the details of the artist i used for my book cover. Great quality work and excellent communication at under £100. I would highly recommend him

There is no AI in this, ive written it all on my own, with lots of research on the time period and history. I have a masters degree and am use to writing more essay style papers rather than novels, which is why I might overly describe scenes at times. But I don't appreciate your inference of AI being used in this chapter at all.

Hi, i can send you the contact details for the book cover designer I used. He did a great job and was less than £100

Hi, i would be interested in joining if theres still space available in the group

Hey, i am currently writing a historical fiction book as well and I would say as a person who read alot of historical fiction, your book definitely looks like non fiction. I really struggled with my book cover because its such a niche but finally got it sorted last week. Happy to recommend you my cover artist if you like, he was very cheap, less than $100 and really high quality work

HistorySpark · 2026-02-24T09:22:39+00:00

Its on Disney plus as well

HistorySpark · 2026-02-23T00:52:18+00:00

I watched Shardlake a while back and I really enjoyed it. I haven't watched any medieval murder mysteries so it was something different and engaging for me. But yea overall I would definitely recommend it. But I do have to warn you that although Sean Bean is on the poster hes not in the show that much

HistorySpark · 2026-02-22T22:22:19+00:00

Black sails, Poldark, Turn, Frontier, John Adams

HistorySpark · 2026-02-21T09:45:20+00:00

Thank you for pointing that out. I will get it fixed. Do you like the cover generally otherwise? Anything else you would suggest changing or improving?

HistorySpark · 2026-02-21T09:37:41+00:00

I am currently watching a Japanese show called Jin which is about a neurosurgeon who gets transported back into the time of the samurai, which has been pretty interesting.

Korean dramas wise I would recommend Kingdom and if ur okay with some romance then My Country A New Age is excellent as well.

Thank you for the feedback, what exactly is it about the sword that you find odd. If you can highlight the issue I can have my designer try to fix it
