Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hi. I'm Rachel, and I'm a grammar nerd :D
I can be a bit harsh, but I'm not mean. My goal is for writers to have the best command of language possible. I also read for changes in style and syntax or diction that would go well with the mood of the story. I'll read anything, really, as long as you didn't write it in chatspeak or text-message speak. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm very good at grammar. I also pick up on the emotion in stories quite well and can help writers create a certain mood. People call me a walking thesaurus, on occasion, so I like to find the right word as opposed to the almost right word. I'm also a bit of a perfectionist if you need a critical and through eye. I'm also good with rhythm in language, since I'm a musician. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I cannot spell. However, I have Mozilla Firefox's wonderful spellcheck on my browser to help me with this malady. Plus, I can tell if a word looks wrong, so I'll check the spelling. Who knows, I might learn something! |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Anything nerdy, geeky, dorky, or synonyms thereof. I love anything having to do with music. I love, well, love. I like poetry a lot. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'm generally not picky and will read any genre.
Poetry is fine as long as it isn't angsty and emo. |
