Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Haven't done this before -- interested in giving it a try. Generally an editor/reviewer should point out _weaknesses_, not strengths. Don't take it personally: considered it a set of eyes other than your own tunnel-vision eyes. Besides, I'm only one person in the billions on this Earth. Take it or leave it.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Very good copy editing. Very strong vocabulary. Years and years experience.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I prefer shorter works for now. If something is too long and tedious for my taste, I may decline.
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Poetry: prefer images and concrete characters, not the more common swarms of pronouns (I/he/she/you) and vague mushy emotions.
Stories: leave out dead-wood words and -ly adverbs.
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Gratuitous smut or swearing is Bad Writing, though lots of great writers can use both or either well. If it's not indicated, you're better off without it. And it had better be pretty strongly indicated.
