Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I will be a ruthless editor. I can promise that while I might not catch everything, I will hack your work to pieces and question everything. I will also help you plot out a story, to find an acceptable conclusion to current problems, and help you write yourself out of corners. I am willing to be a sounding board and creative aide. If you truly want to become better, I'll do my best to help. However, I will not beta-read for someone who can't even bother to use spell check. Learning disabilites or problems with English as a second/third language perfectly acceptable. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Highly observant and focused on larger picture issues. I will not parse grammar with you, but I will question word choice and look for ways to improve your writing style. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My weakness is that my time is limited. I'm willing to help out where I can, but I will not be at your beck and call. If you want my services, you will have to be patient. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I would prefer stories with a unique angle. Unless your writing is fantastic, I don't have a lot of interest in reading the 100th version of Harry Potter discovers his animagus form. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
None, but this will be updated as needed. |
