Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Update August 20th, '09: I'm currently very busy and will only take one other story to Beta. When I have more free time, I'll edit more- but for now, I'm on Hiatus until further notice. I'll take one other story beofre I go on Hiatus.
Thanks.

Hello ladies and gents. Nice to meet you, I'm Leeland88 and this is my beta-reader profile. As a beta-reader I live up to the expectations of being a beta, which means if I have to be critical, I will. I'm pretty laid back otherwise, and love to help with any plot struggles you may be having. My expectations are simple; You have to have basic grammar skills (I don't re-write and edit the whole story people), be ready for suggestions that may change the plot, and have your fiction rated Teen and under (Sorry, I don't do Mature fiction). Contact me anytime, but remember that school has started, so I may not be able to answer you for a bit. Thanks for visiting! |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Strengths:
-Can spot grammar mistakes.
-Can rephrase sentences when they don't make sense, or if the author doesn't know how to phrase it.
-Can help with with Writer's block. (Anytime!)
-Can suggest a book or guide to help the author if he/she is stummped on what to do in a important chapter. |

Weaknesses:
-Can't catch every single mistake.
-Takes time when reading the fiction. (It may take me a few days to edit your story, so please be patient!)

-I don't edit any yaoi, yuri, or any slash fiction. |
