Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I am hoping, as a beta-reader I can help other aspiring authors out there. I know my own work may not be top-notch but I am quite good at picking up grammatical or spelling errors in other works and would like to help out. I have no problem with reading and looking over Slash/Yaoi works, though I would prefer to avoid the more graphic texts and I'll have a go at Horror if you are desperate. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Romance/SciFi/Adventure/Fantasy and some Historical works. Grammar and spelling. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
At times I can become too involved with the story and don't step back enough to critically see the piece. I am working on that at the moment, however and am likely to read your submitted works at least twice in order to best help you out. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I do not particularly have any preffered genre though my basis is originally Fantasy/Adventure which gives me a relatively strong grounding. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I am more of a Fiction writer than anything else and reader and am not so wrapped in poetry or personal reflection stories. I have no problem with reading and looking over Slash/Yaoi works, though I would prefer to avoid the more graphic texts and I'll have a go at Horror if you are desperate, though I'm likely to be scared out of my pants. |
