have someone read my story

You could ask your friends or family members. They are usually more than willing to read your story out of love and support.

Maybe! But it depends on my availability. If I have the time, I'll definitely take a look.

However, if you're trying to manipulate the reading or review process in an unethical way, such as paying for only positive reviews, then it's not ethical. The purpose of getting someone to read your story should be to improve it, not to deceive others about its quality.

The best way to know is to keep an eye on the view count. If it goes up, that indicates someone has read your story. Another clue could be if you get direct messages or comments related to the story from someone.

You could start by sharing it on your social media platforms. For example, post a short teaser about your story on Facebook or Twitter with a link to where the full story can be read. Another way is to ask your friends and family directly. They are usually more likely to be interested in reading something you've written.

You could share it on social media or writing platforms. That way, more people might come across it and decide to read it.

Sure, if you add them and they have the time and interest, they might read your story.

Getting someone to read your novel gives you fresh perspectives. They might notice plot holes or character inconsistencies that you missed. For example, if there's a sudden change in a character's behavior that doesn't seem logical, a new reader can point it out.

One option is to use freelance platforms. You can post a job on platforms like Fiverr or Upwork, stating that you're willing to pay for someone to read your story and provide feedback. Set a reasonable price based on the length and complexity of your story.

It can be. Some people might not be interested in reading something that's not complete because they want a full story arc.
