Story Application

Please contact storyapplications@projectteambeta.com if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

* We will beta stories from the Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and Twilight fandoms, and Original Fiction. 

Rules and Guidelines:

1. Project Team Beta will only work with authors who are making a clear effort to improve their writing skills. We expect authors to make an active attempt to improve their writing in conjunction with the efforts made by the betas of Project Team Beta. 

2. Author or beta members of Project Team Beta who are under the age of eighteen will not work on content rated R or NC-17. PTB expects honesty and full disclosure from our members on this matter.

3. PTB accepts Works-In-Progress. However, in order to best assist authors, PTB will only work with stories if we can start the beta work with chapter one. This will enable us to provide consistent and comprehensive feedback throughout the entire story. For example, even if you already have 5 chapters posted, we would still like to start with chapter 1. 

4. Authors may only have one chapter in the Project Team Beta transit at a time.

5. Project Team Beta will make our best effort to return chapters to authors within one week of the chapter being placed into transit.

6. You may have no more than one multi-chaptered story per fandom and no more than one one-shot at any given time and only one chapter in transit.

7. Project Team Beta Moderators will review all stories being submitted and identify any strengths and weaknesses. If a writing sample is very poor (i.e. multiple instances of many different mistakes, or clear evidence of a lack of self-editing), then PTB will deem the story not transit-ready. Authors will be invited to join New Learners, where they will receive resources to study from and one-on-one help with PTB Moderators. Once the author is able to apply basic grammar knowledge to their self-edits, the PTB Moderators will “graduate” their story to transit, and the author will be able to submit their chapters in to be beta’d.

8. Please allow up to seven days for your application to be processed. If you haven’t heard back by then, contact storyapplications@projectteambeta.com.

9. We reserve the right to reject any story application for whatever reason. We want to maintain a positive and fun atmosphere here at PTB, and if we feel that your story or yourself could compromise this in anyway, we will not accept your story.

10. For a closer look as to how PTB works, please read through our FAQ.

11. If you are working on a deadline for a Contest or Event, please fill out a Contest/Event Story Application so that we can better cater to your needs.
