Part of my editing team is looking for beta readers, if you’re interested you should check it out!
We’ll be needing beta readers soon.
Yes, that’s right: beta readers, plural. We’ve decided it’s not fair to LR to make him shoulder the responsibility alone. Also, we want to know how readers unfamiliar with the author’s other works will react to this story.
But wait! Before you volunteer, you should know a thing or two about this novel… and about the amount of work involved in beta reading: Project Brimstone is contemporary science fiction and runs about 70K words, so reading won’t take too long. However, I have a list of about forty questions I need beta readers to answer, such as, ‘Are there any parts you think should be condensed or deleted?’ and, ‘Could you relate to the main character?’ Volunteers to beta read must be willing to answer these questions.
Here’s the (unofficial) blurb:

Are they still looking? Do they pay at all? I am looking for something until we move to Florida (very soon) to help make me some extra money. I have an English degree if that helps, lol! 😂

Okay, so in publishing Beta Readers are volunteers who read and give critiques to the writer so it can be improved before publication. They’re very rarely paid, if ever. They do it because they can be involved in the process, get early access, credit in the SPECIAL THANKS and/or are already fans of the author. If you wanted paying gigs, you could do some freelance editing. That pays, and if you go to my ABOUT JR section you can find my editor. Reach out, he’ll be able to help you get started doing so. Good luck though! Hope the move goes well!
