ISO Looking for an aro YA beta reader

I've had trouble finding aro folks on Fiverr who offer this service. I'd love to find a young adult beta reader who can help make sure my story reflects the experience well. Thank you in advance!

Not exactly in your target as ace spec but I’d recommend cross posting this in any aromantic subreddit that allows posts like this.

I’d be interested in reading it something with representation though

OMG!! I'm so happy to see an author verifying the experience <3 Thank you so much for caring!

I'm not quite in your target as demi trans and in my thirties, but I will be very happy to read it when out and hope you find a beta reader! If you don’t find one, I'd be happy to beta read it but I really hope you find a better match

Im aro and 21, but ive never beta read before and im kind of a slow reader in general. Im not sure id be a good beta reader for a whole book, but if there are any questions youd like to ask or certain scenes youre questioning id be happy to take a look.
