Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am currently new to beta-reading, but I have been editing various fictional works and fan fictions anonymously across the sight. I proof-check spelling, grammar and vocabulary, sometimes changing the words and sentence structures to fit the flow of the story more perfectly. As a betareader, I focus more on quality than fast messy work, so don't expect my edits to be quick, and give me time. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I have a sharp eye for mistakes, especially grammar and vocabulary. I am also good at choosing words to add to the mood or the flow of the story. For example, in writing, I have a talent of expanding scenes to add to the mood. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Sometimes, I will miss the smaller spelling mistakes. Also, I am rather inexperienced in beta-reading as whole. If you are a writer who wants everything (other than the plot, of course) to go specifically your way, I would suggest you look for another beta-reader. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Nope. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I would avoid Yaoi scenes, since I am not experienced in it at all. If possible, I tend to avoid major OC stories too. Anything else is fine. |
