Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I used to be an assistant editor, but I'm also on the writer's side. I usually read through a draft once to get a general idea of what it's about, another time for coherence and a third time for grammar/punctuation. I try to be timely with my betas and I'm willing to listen to the author's view on it, but I'm not interested in long, protracted arguments.
All I ask is that you take my suggestions with an open mind. I'm not here to tell you you can't write because I have confidence that you can. I'm here to help you write better. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
finding the good things you write, some grammar, foreign languages, description |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
technical stuff...I'm a writer, not an engineer! |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Humor, adventure, general |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
some angst, romance |
