Make your story shine
Shimerith is a beta-reading platform for serious writers. Invite real readers to your manuscript and collect chapter-by-chapter ratings and inline comments in one place. Everything is presented through clear scores and visuals so you know exactly what to revise.
Reader feedback, pinned to the line that caused it
What you see as the author: each comment sits against the passage that prompted it, tagged confusion, suggestion or praise, and attributed to the reader who left it — mark them reviewed as you revise.
A clearer kind of feedback
Most beta feedback is scattered and subjective. Shimerith structures reader responses so writers can understand patterns, not just opinions. Ratings, comments, and visual summaries work together to show how a story is landing.
Designed for Readers
Readers experience stories in a calm, focused, Kindle-like interface. They can leave inline comments, respond to short questions, and rate key aspects of the chapter without breaking immersion.
Designed for Writers
Writers see feedback clearly and in context. Everything is organized to support confident revision.
- Chapter-by-chapter scores across your own rating questions
- Inline comments anchored to the exact passage they refer to
- Each reader’s overall impression of a chapter, alongside their scores
- Every comment attributed, so you know whose perspective it is
- A dashboard showing who has read what, and what is waiting on you
- Export feedback to CSV or a printable report
