I've written a novel and I would like to offer services as a beta so that it will help me get better at editing my own novel. I like to edit chapter by chapter and I usually copy-and-paste quotes onto a word document from your writing that either don't make sence or that could be improved and I write commentary about the quote. So pretty much I can help get very miniscule details fixed. If you want me to beta your stroy, I expect that you at least try to have proper spelling and grammer. I would like it if you would edit the story yourself before asking me to look at it.

I'm pretty good at identifying places that need more description. I nag a lot about the show-don't-tell thing.

I can't do the whole 'big picture' thing. So don't ask for plot hole identification. Good grammar/spelling is expected, so I will not correct any spelling/grammar errors. That's what your word processors spell check feature is for.

I would like to do paranormal-scifi. That would be stuff that's kind of like Margarite Peterson Haddix. Realistic Young Adult is also good.

I cannot stand romance unless it's a subplot. I don't like high fantasy... Nothing with unicorns or dragons. I'll tolerate some chick lit. No space operas. If you're not sure if I'll like it, just ask.
