Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
This will be my first time being a "professional" beta-reader, so hopefully I'll be able to help. :)
When I edit, I read it over probably three times to get a feel of the piece. Then I go back in for basic edits, like grammar and spelling. I do this about three times as well. Then, if need be, I try and attempt to fix more stylistic errors.
Since school has started back up, I'll be available primarily on the weekends. You should be able to reach me at about 6:00PM CST till 10 or 11 as well during the weekdays. I take about 1-2 days for quick edits; about 3 days if I go into it deeper. (I work in 3's it seems.) |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Spelling is my strong point; grammar takes a close second. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Stylistic choices are harder for me to pinpoint, as I feel almost intrusive to your writing process, not personally knowing you and all. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Slash, femslash, het, K-T ratings. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
M, NC-17, smut, the like. |
