Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I like to do this because its a way of helping other writers. I think its great when people want to let the world see their stories and ideas. Also its a fun way of getting to meet some of your fellow authors. Getting to talk to other people is a great way of improving your writing and I'd love to be able help make someone a hundred percent happy with their work. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm good when it comes to description and word choice. Also I'm strong when it comes to characterization and getting across to people who a character is. My writing style is somewhat loose and leaves it up to the reader to come up with some things. I view it as a way for people to make their own connections to the piece of writing. Punctuation is another thing I can handle well. I've forgotten how many times my teachers have drilled me in how to punctuate dialogue and the like. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm not a brilliant speller in the least. If its an obvious misspelling, yes I can catch it. But if its something like an 'i' and an 'e' being switched around, chances are it'll evade my notice. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I'd prefer to beta series I'm used to and comfortable with. Such as Naruto, Death Note, and Bleach but I'm also able to handle books I might have read or the like. And as for genre I really don't care. As long as I'm familiar with it I'm willing to help out. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'd prefer not to handle stories with OC's in them. Many people are able to write very good stories with OC's in them but they're not the type of story I'm able to get in to. |
