Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
When I beta, not only do I look for grammar and spelling, but I point out sentences that don't seem to make sense to me. I don't go through and fix the mistakes, I point them out and mark them so you can fix them yourself. I believe a beta is there to help give nudges in the right direction, not pull the leash down the path. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I guess I'm a bit good in all the basic areas. I do like looking at the flow of the sentences, so probably that. I'm also good, but picky, when it comes to word choice. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Action scenes. I don't think I'm all that good at action scenes. So if you'd like me to Beta those, be prepared for some beating around the bush.
Romance scenes. If you want help on a scene that's all mushy, then I am NOT the one to choose. I can't write romance at all! |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I definitely prefer stories over poems. With stories, I like to beta Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Action/Adventure, Thrillers, and maybe some horror and humor. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Romance. It's okay if it's included with action, but I don't like it as the main point.
General. Sorry, everyday problems about high school and such make me yawn a bit. |
