Beta Readers: A Vital Resource in Your Writing Journey

The Writing Lodge Slide Maker

Find something else to do, even if means starting another book.

You’ll still overlook mistakes… a lot of them.

Betas—despite their greatness—don’t usually check your grammar etc.

Dalton Trumbo liked to edit in the bath. Where do you prefer to edit?

If you hadn’t just written the book, would you understand it?

Police yourself now, so your critics won’t find you guilty later.

You have to pretend you hate your manuscript, even though you really, really, really love it.

Don’t forget to Read and Revise

Be honest with yourself because you have no idea who else is going to be.

From Dictionary.com, this millennium’s Oxford.
