Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
When I read, I look at the grammatical mistakes and fix those while also looking at the overall flow of the story and, if the author is open to it, make suggestions about things that would make the chapter flow better. As I go through a chapter and beta, I'll track my changes in Microsoft Word so you can see what changes I've made and sometimes I'll go through it more than once if it is required. I really have very thorough. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Grammar, flow |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I sometimes miss important mistakes on the first reading |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I would prefer to beta under stories that I know a little bit about that way I can know what's going on and not be lost about the story-line. Probably the best way to judge whether I'd be interested is to look at my profile and see the stories there. I'm up for many things. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Not really. I'm not real heavy into Sci-fi, though if someone were to contact me, I would give it a shot. I also know that if I'm contacted about Anime, I wouldn't be able to do anything because I don't read it, so I would prefer to not be contacted about it. |
