Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I do a lot of editing for my high school newspaper since I am an editor. I offer my services as a way for you to improve your writing. In fact, I like to betaread because it helps me in my own writing.
Please do not expect that your work will be beta-read and returned to you within a day. I do this all on my own time in addition to school, extracurricular activites, and my own writing. Allow up to a week for beta-reading. If I do not respond to you within a week, feel free to chew me out. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Grammar and puncuation would have to my two greatest strengths. I also like breaking up stories and helping others decided what to add and what to subtract to make their stories better. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Spelling would have to be my greatest weakness but a quick trip through spell check should clear that right up. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I would prefer to beta stories in catagories I have written for: 7th Heaven, Harry Potter, ER, 7th Heaven, Navy NCIS, Pirates of the Caribbean, Grey's Anatomy, and Greek. I think I do a better job when I know the characters. I'm also open to beta reading Pride & Prejudice, Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, High School Musical, Hannah Montana, Wildfire, CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, and American Dreams. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Stargate, Zoey 101, Will and Grace, and such. But don't be hesitant to ask. While I do think I do a better job when I know the characters, I'm always willing to try new things. |
