Having a beta reader was infinitely helpful for me. I had several. They found a few typos I’d missed. One told me he’d made notes about the story, and then was surprised because all his questions were answered by the end of the book, and he liked that flow. All liked the book’s flow, and their encouragement boosted my self-confidence. As the article suggests, I still pursued their notes and feedback for improvement. Those were intriguing insights into how a reader that isn’t the writer interpreted scenes and situations.
The Rundown of Beta Reading
My beta reader has been amazing. She pokes holes in stuff, tells where things are getting cheesy, and makes me be true to characters. Worth her weight in Starbucks.
