Writing is hard.

Getting honest feedback shouldn’t be.

The Spun Yarn offers a revolutionary new way to get honest and trustworthy feedback on your unpublished manuscript.

  • "The Spun Yarn was an important part of my writing journey – a service that I recommend to all authors that are serious about their craft, particularly debut authors. Unlike a regular paid beta reader, The Spun Yarn uses a number of readers to prepare their report on your draft – statistically this provides a more reliable and valid commentary on your novel, according to your genre and target market."

    Feroze Engineer, Mumbai, author of It Can’t See You In The Dark

  • "Beta readers’ feedback helped me take my story to the next level by giving me substantive and specific pointers on what readers were looking for and expected. I value working with The Spun Yarn, feel they are in my camp as cheerleaders and champions of me and my characters, and already am working with them again for Book II!"

    Christine Galib, author of The Knights of the Dagger Series

  • "The quarter-by-quarter breakdown from my Spun Yarn readers was extremely helpful. In addition to shining light on some pacing defects in my manuscript, it gave me confidence the readers were committed to the job of reading the story and offering candid assessments."

    Jack Bunker, Washington, DC, author of True Grift

  • "I have recommended it to my entire writing group. Several people are already applying! We never get a chance to have anyone read our entire manuscript. My current writing group reads 25 pages of one writer each week. Which means we forget what happens and the feedback can only be focused on that section."

    Jennifer N., design consultant and author of The Ice Cream Travel Guide

  • "It's been literally years since I've felt this enthusiastic about the book and I'm excited to get back to work on it. It really did blow me away just how in-depth the feedback was; thank you thank you thank you!"

    Liz S., author of short stories found in Daily Science Fiction, Phobos magazine, and The Arcanist
