What is Beta Reading? For some writers, it's a truly terrifying time when asking unassuming friends and sometimes strangers to read your work and give you feedback on all your hard work.
While Beta Reading is an amazing tool for writers to get real feedback on their work, it can be plagued with criticisms that if handled incorrectly, can make someone feel terrible about their work. So, how do we handle the negative part of feedback with consideration.
A quickie episode discussing my own beta reading struggles with work I have read as well as people reading my own work and leaving less than favourable reviews.
Check it out to see if there are any points you find useful, either as a writer or possible beta reader for someone else.
In case, you didn't know; I offer a Beta & Sensitivity Reading gig on Fiverr. If you are ever in need of the service, please do check it out!
