Beta Reader Profile

Beta Reader

1. Are you new to beta reading?
I have been a beta-reader a few times before, but will need someone will tolerate that I may be occasionally vague.

2. Your age (optional):
I’m a minor.

3. How many authors would you like to beta read?
I can beta read for 1-2 Authors.

4. Genre(s) – Please be specific:
I tend to write Romantic Comedies alongside Supernatural. But I’m always open to beta-reading most genres of literature.
Although it isn’t technically a genre, I will beta-read for FanFiction. Since I write reader-inserts, I should be able to help quite a bit with anything along those lines.

5. What won't you beta?

Personally, anything to do with politics or religion isn’t my cup of tea. I’m also not going to beta any erotica any time soon.

6. What's your writing skill level?
I would consider myself intermediate, although I sometimes forget things that could be considered ‘basic’.

7. How serious are you about your writing?

To me, writing is my way of expressing myself. I’ve always wanted to be an author, and have recently been considering whether or not that dream job can become a reality. Proofreading has become something I find rather amusing, and is really the reason why I’m offering to beta someone’s work.
However, I don’t think I’d be considered as someone who is ‘serious’ about writing. Especially to those who dislike FanFiction. Or reader-inserts.

8. Your writing strengths:
Normally, I find myself correcting other peoples’ grammar and use of punctuation.

9. Writing weaknesses:
Whilst I can point out what has gone wrong in a piece of literature, I can’t elaborate in detail how to improve something. Meaning that, sometimes, I can be too vague in both explaining and descriptions in my writing.

10. What are you looking for in an author?

As you may be able to tell, I’m not a very ‘serious’ person. I’m rather happy-go-lucky, and just love writing. So I’d like to beta for someone who feels that same way, and will take things ‘seriously’ but enjoy developing their writing in the process.

Long pieces of writing take a long chunk of time, so if that’s what you want, please bear with me.

11. Do you promise to put sincere effort into your partnership?
Of course.
