How to Work With Beta Readers

[@jessicagrzado8664]

I'd love to hear you talk about how you came up with your beta reader application and what sorts of questions are on there. 😊

Good stuff. I will need beta readers in a few weeks. Before this video I had only a vague idea of how to find and work with them. Thanks!

This is great advice. I asked a question in a M/M Romance Writers and Readers page on Facebook I'm part of about putting something in that may have been risque to use. I got 3 people saying they want to Beta read when it's done. I've saved their names because the way the talked made me feel like they are looking for something outside the status quo of romance and would be willing to read it and see it is something that is actually interesting.

Awesome video!! I'm still so new to the writing process and this video (like so many of your others) gave me tremendous insight and value. Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you for the video. It was insightful. What I found is that publishing a book without beta readers is like presenting cooked meals to your guests without testing for the salt and spices perfection. You might get too much frowns. I generally ask for review, rating in scale five and 30-40 questions. The funny part is the controversy between the answers of same questions. One would say, he loved this and that character and other might say, 'though you delineated them properly, I could never sympathise with anyone.' Another interesting fact is, their experience and analysis seem to be much more on the positive side if presented with a printed version rather than pdf or epub.

Every time I watch you, I am never disappointed! Thank you so much for what you do. You have been so helpful to me in this very overwhelming process of being an unpublished author. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am editing someone's typescript and am considering sending it to betas as a first option. My reasoning is the work is way off-genre for me (coming-of-age romance, when I read mostly dark fantasy or grimdark fantasy,) so I wanted to get feedback from on-genre betas to see which of my thoughts concerning high-level developmental stuff were in-sync with the projected demographic.

Great video!!

Should you use beta readers for micro or flash fiction under 2000 words?

[@amiliar2656]

I'm beta reading right now and I always forget to go back to it 😅

[@absolutelycitron1580]

What do I do if my critique partners aren't done with their projects by the time I'm done editing? Wait?

[@wolkcumulus2547]

[@jonaetra6221]

Is there anyone here available to beta read? I can do the same in return
