Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I, being a writer, understand how nerve-wracking it is when little mistakes make your work a laughing stock. I'm willing to read the work of my fans, or anyone else, if they give me their absolutely best work. I will be firm and honest, and I will help critique your work to victory. I refuse to read something that hasn't been spell-checked. Don't ask me to beta if you don't want someone to take your work and put it through a meat-grinder. Editing and publishing, along with writing, is my future career path. If you want a sugar-coated happy pill of a response, do not, and I mean, do NOT come to me. If you, like me, are seeking to better yourself as a writer, feel free to send me your work and I will do what I can to hone your story into excellence. |
