Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I will beta for anyone. I tend to fix mistakes (or what I feel might should be changed) in the actual document, but I'll try my hardest to work with you and make it good by your standards. I'll ask questions about the plot and maybe suggest what you should do with it, but I won't give you a plot. I'm beta-reading for a few people right now, so it might take up to a week to read something you send me, depending on the length; I'll try to get it back to you soon, though. I'm on the computer almost every night (after seven, EST time), and can talk through IM or email about the story, chapters, ideas, or anything. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm a grammar freak; I'm good at fixing grammar, spelling, sentence structure--anything like that. I'm also good at identifying voice and noticing when it switches or changes. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I have difficulty with tense, such as noticing if it's incorrect and fixing it. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
I'll pretty much beta anything, but I'd prefer romance, teen, drama, and sometimes fantasy. Also, I have no problem betareading yaoi/slash stories. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
I'll beta anything, but I'd prefer to not beta sci-fi, supernatural, western, or mythology. |
