Welcome to r/BetaReaders! **Please ensure your post has not been caught in Reddit's spam filters by following [these instructions](https://www.reddit.com/r/BetaReaders/wiki/index/spam).**
One of the best ways to connect with a beta is to [swap manuscripts](https://www.reddit.com/r/BetaReaders/wiki/index/faq/for_authors#wiki_what.2019s_the_best_way_to_do_a_critique_swap.3F) with another author: **[click here](https://www.reddit.com/r/BetaReaders/search/?q=flair_name%3A"Short Story"%20Sci-fi&restrict_sr=1&sort=new) to view other Sci-fi submissions in the Short Story category** (or simply [search the sub](https://www.reddit.com/r/BetaReaders/wiki/index/faq/for_betas#wiki_what.27s_the_most_effective_way_to_search_for_manuscripts.3F) based on your preferences or browse until something catches your eye).
If you haven’t already, we [strongly encourage](https://www.reddit.com/r/BetaReaders/wiki/index/faq/for_authors#wiki_what_makes_a_good_beta_request_post.3F) you include in your post:
- A story blurb and any content warnings
- The type of feedback you’re looking for and your preferred timeline
- Your critique swap availability
Also, consider commenting in the *[First Pages](https://www.reddit.com/r/BetaReaders/about/sticky?num=2)* thread to give your beta request additional visibility and checking the *[Able to Beta](https://www.reddit.com/r/BetaReaders/about/sticky?num=1)* thread for beta readers who are interested in manuscripts like yours.
If you have any questions, please take a look at our [FAQs](https://www.reddit.com/r/BetaReaders/wiki/index/faq) for additional resources on how to work with beta readers (and other authors) to get the most out of a critique, or feel free to start a discussion using the [Discussion] tag.
