Hello, peeps!
I hope you enjoyed my last book reviews. As always, it’s a pleasure to read and give my opinions of them to you.
Don’t fret: I’ve also got news!
I’m still a long way from publishing my Nightshade series; however, I now have TWO beta readers for my short stories and Nightshade in particular! One of them is my best friend, but don’t go thinking he’ll be soft with his critiques… Trust me, he’s not. And it’s a very good thing for me!
As a tip for you guys and gals, here’s what I use to manage the beta reading:
I found this cozy site months ago in its infancy. It wasn’t even open to the general public, imagine that! So I waited… But it sounded like such a great idea! So I waited some more.
Then, it opened. Admittedly, I didn’t sign up until two weeks ago because I thought they were charging even the basic features. I was surprised! You can still create a free account. Isn’t it neat?!
If you do, you’ll be able to upload ONE story and invite up to THREE beta readers and some “fancy” features are locked like the inline comments. Nevertheless, most of what a budding author needs is handled pretty well with the free account, let me tell you. If you go over the limits, you’ll enter the first paid subscription tier (which, I think, is reasonably priced, $14.99.)
Want to know what else you can do with a free account?
Here:
- Track reader progress
- Collect reader feedback
- Reply and discuss feedback in-app
- Triage and categorize with our feedback marking system
- See all your feedback in one screen
- One Book
- Up to Three Readers
Again, if you want to test this lovely service, sign up at BetaBooks.co for a free account.
Did I mention all of the feedback given and received is private when you invite your beta readers?
See you next post, lovelies (it will be a book review)!
