Beta readers
Share your manuscript with confidence. Edda gives you professional tools to protect your work, organise your beta readers, and collect the feedback that makes your book better.
Every copy carries an invisible, reader-specific fingerprint in its text, in PDF, DOCX and EPUB and in the online portal. If your manuscript leaks, paste an excerpt into the leak tracer and Edda names the reader it was issued to.
Send each reader a private link to read the draft in their browser, with your italics and formatting intact. They comment on any paragraph and answer your questionnaire right there, and you sync their feedback back into Edda.
Track every reader's status from invitation to completed feedback. See who has your manuscript, which version they received, and when their feedback is due.
Reader profiles
Build detailed profiles for every beta reader in your network. Track their email, preferred genres, reading speed and content preferences so you always send the right manuscript to the right reader, and see each reader's history across all your projects.
Manuscript protection
Every beta reader copy carries an invisible, reader-specific fingerprint woven into the text itself. Not only a visible watermark that distracts your readers, but a traceable identifier that points back to the reader a copy was issued to if your manuscript ever surfaces where it should not. It survives copying text out of a PDF, and a pasted excerpt is enough to trace it.
NDA and feedback
Record when each reader signed their NDA, set expiration dates, keep the renewal history, and never lose track of who has agreed to what. When their feedback arrives, collect it through structured forms with star ratings, written responses and custom questionnaires tailored to what you need to know.
Version control
Manuscripts evolve. Edda tracks every version you create and records exactly which version each beta reader received. When feedback references a scene you have since rewritten, you will know whether it still applies or was already addressed in the latest draft.
