Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm pretty good when it comes to editing... I can catch a lot of little mistakes. I respect everyone and their writing style, but I will not tolerate reading a story that is riddled with errors by an author who thinks he/she is a best selling author. If you're just looking for another person to praise you for your work, don't even bother requesting me as a beta... while I won't be mean to you, I'm not going to tell you you're story is great when it's not. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm particularly good at catching most spelling mistakes. I can also find places where the verb and the subject don't agree with one another and I'm good at finding the places where a homonym has been misused. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I have trouble with commas on occasion... sometimes I get their placement right and sometimes I don't. I don't like reading stories where there is a ton of details, especially if they're useless details that the reader doesn't need to know about. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Romance and Supernatural are my favorite genres to read... but I also like Historical and Young Adult, Humor, Mythology, and Fantasy to a certain extent. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I don't beta poetry, mostly because I don't know how. Also don't like Manga or Sci-fi. |
