You may need to request "View Access" to read the manuscript. Do not edit the document directly; requests for edit access will not be granted. MAKE A COPY and then edit for the author, if you'd like! Or, you can leave comments.
This is done mostly book club style, as a general discussion. Full line edits and detailed notes are not required, although if you have specific sticking points or feedback, comments are appreciated.
About the Beta Reader Book Club:
Beta Reading is officially the last step before seeking publication, whether through indie publishing or querying agents/publishers. This "book club" will meet about every 6 weeks to discuss a member's manuscript (if there are submissions!)
All welcome to join in to give feedback; we will review manuscripts only from full members of South Jersey Writers' Group.
If you have a manuscript you'd like to share with the Beta Reader Book Club please review the information on this form.

If you would like to review the manuscript but can't make the meeting date, please respond "YES" to this event. You will be able to review the manuscript on your own and provide feedback to the author on an individual basis. (This will count towards your manuscript's eligibility in the BRBC.)
