Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm crazy about editing. Poor grammar is a huge problem to me. I'm a bit lax when it comes to style, but that's mostly because everyone has their own unique style. However, a paragraph must be a paragragh and a sentence must be a complete sentence. I'll be harsh when I have to be, but I'm just trying to give constructive critism. All I ask of the people who wish to acquire my services is that they have a sense of humor and are not easily offended. In other words, they have a good attitude. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Grammar is my stongest area. I'm determined to make sure the English language does not turn to garbage because of the improper use of the word "good" or using made up words like "funner." I shudder at the thought. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I suppose spelling would be my worst. Though, if I'm not sure, I'll look it up. Even if I do that though, there are bound to be some errors that I'll miss. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I prefer reading young adult, romance, fantasy and poetry. Anything else I won't be much help because I'll probably be in the dark about some technical things. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I hate westerns. I hate everything about them. Also, no non-fiction. I don't want to have to go fact checking just to make sure the writer isn't wrong. |
