Thank you everyone! I think I have enough readers for this round, I'll update when I'm looking for readers for my next draft.

Thank you so much to all my dear beta readers for your incredibly helpful feedback!
Is anyone interested in beta-reading the newest draft? Please PM me if you are! It's 100,000 word women's fiction novel, telling the story of three young women the chareidi community in Israel, and is targeting the general public.

There are a couple of scenes where characters kiss. Nothing graphic, but it's not a frum book, it's meant for the general public. I was trying to capture reality without being graphic.
Or in other words if you normally read non frum books you will be fine, but if you manage to stick to only frum literature - I don't want to be the one corrupting anyone..

Hibiscus- I don't have a way of PMing you, but are you still interested in beta reading?

Looking for Beta readers for the next version of my book.
This is a much more polished version, I've been working on creating suspense and pulling in the reader from the first page, and also trying to catch any grammatical errors still there.
So if you read non-Jewish women's fiction/ "book club" fiction, and are comfortable with reading a PDF, please PM me!

Hibiscus if you're still on ImaMother I'd love if you can read it!
And anyone else who has experience with publishing in the general publishing world, I'd really appreciate advice and any connections you may have. I'm struggling to find a literary agent. I've been frequently published within the Frum world, but my novel has too many elements that wouldn't pass muster with a frum publisher, and also my whole goal was to reach the wider public.

Have you tried using querytracker and mswl? I found those most helpful when I was searching for a literary agent. You'll be able to search mswl for agents interested in Jewish fiction.
The frum world is much less competitive than the secular world when it comes to publishing– in my experience, all you need is a completed manuscript without any hashkafic issues and you'll find a publisher. Finding a literary agent and an editor will take much longer and be much more involved. Workshop your query letter and your early pages (especially with non-frum people) and do your best to persevere! It's tough out there, but it'll all be worth it if you can find a good home for your book.
I'm trad published as well and am happy to take a look at the first chapter or two if you'd like some general advice.

Yes I've scoured MSWL and QueryTracker., and worked hard on polishing my query letter.
I'd love your feedback - can you PM me so I know who to send it to?
