Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'll tell you what I think, try to assist you to where you're heading with the story, offer advice, and I'll make sure I'm not making you write in a way that isn't your style. I look for grammatical correctness, the flow of the story (or lack thereof), spelling, and description, among other things. I'm well on my way towards a degree in English, staff member of "The Seahawk," and a well-established writer on FF dot net. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Flow. Vocabulary. Description. Allusions. Foreshadowing. Character creation and description. Inserting themes into the plot. Grammar. Spelling. I'm an English major with a 3.9 GPA. I'm going to write novels and teach college courses in English. English is my sort of gig. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I can miss little things when I get wrapped up in the plot of a story. But rest assured that the story will be read, re-read, and read yet again in search of them! Other weaknesses include: descriptions of mental thought processes and a cramped personal schedule. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
One-shots and opening chapters that need a little kick. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
