Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I read constantly and quite quickly. I will be completely honest with you, so I might come off as mean but I really just want to see you improve your writing. I've been writing for about six years now so hopefully I can help anyone who is just starting out. A warning though- I have a very busy life (play practice mainly) so sometimes it will take a while to get back to you. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm OCD about grammer so unless your character is supposed to speak that way, expect to be under fire. I'm a walking thesaurus so I'm good if you need help looking for better wording. I have a very diverse reading spectrum. I like most genres. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
My spelling is abominable. I can tell when something is spelled wrong, but I can't tell you how to fix it. But hey, that's what spellcheck is for! I don't think I'll be too helpful in developing your ideas. I think that as a writer, you need to know what you're talking about; you can't rely on other people to tell you what to do next. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I'll read just about anything. My strengths would probably be fantasy, general, young adult, gay fiction, mythology, and light romance (nothing too cheesy, it needs to have more of a plot than just two people in love!). I'll do historical if it has to do with England (and France I guess). |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I don't do manga at all. No religious/spiritual, westerns, or poetry. My poetry sucks, don't even waste your time. |
