Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hello, there! I'm Iced Tea Junkie, a seventeen-year-old female creature from Massachusetts. I consider myself a competent writer, an excellent speller, a slight grammar fiend, and a good judge of style, especially when it comes to humor, drama, young adult, and romance. Fantasy and sci-fi aren't really my areas of expertise, but I'm open to anything so long as the writer is eager and willing to accept my criticism. All you have to do is ask! |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
As mentioned above, I am a hound when it comes to hunting down spelling/grammatical errors. I also know a thing or two about setting, characterization, dialogue, sensory imagery, and giving stories a taste of realism. I'm taking a creative course at my high school. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Plot. Plot, plot, plot! As a writer, I struggle to see the big picture. I tend to write in short, nonlinear bursts as opposed to well-wrought epics. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Young adult, flash fiction, drama, romance, mystery, comedy, historical fiction, screen/stage plays |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Like I've said, fantasy and sci-fi aren't my thing. I'd probably try to bully the author into making their story more realistic! I also despise "chick lit" and anything that reads like an anime. |
