Beta Reading Worksheet

Created by Kimberly Ann, May 01, 2016  198 views
Kimberly Ann Hi,
I am wondering if anyone out there has a good worksheet for beta readers to use while reviewing a manuscript. If so can you please contact me. I would like to see what other beta readers are using. I am an avid reader that is new to being a beta reading. I know what I like but want to be able to give back the best review that I can to those requesting a review. Thank you!
Sandra Holladay There are a lot of good suggestions at this site: http://jamigold.com/2014/08/introduci...

oh man. this is really great! plus since one of its sources is RWA, then it's sourced from a reputable organization.

i downloaded it for me to analyze my own action-gore-horror short story. ; )

8.EAGERNESS TO READ THE NEXT CHAPTER ON SCALE OF 1-10 ANY PREDICTIONS?

9. IS THE STORY COHESIVE? 

10. DID IT KEEP YOU ENGAGED OR DID YOU FIND SPOTS WHERE YOU PUT IT DOWN, AND IF SO, WHERE? 

11. WHAT WOULD YOU LOVE TO SEE MORE OF?

ALSO IF YOU FIND ANY TYPOS OR OTHER PROBLEMS PLEASE GIVE ME A PAGE NUMBER AND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

A Virtual Assistant Can Help Alexandra Amor Sometimes you need specific help for your situation Indie authors often have an edge of control freakery … well, I do! I like being in control and I enjoy pretty much all aspects of being an author entrepreneur. But I hit a wall about 18 months ago, and I definitely needed some help, so I started looking for a virtual assistant to help me. I had a few varied experiences and learned some lessons, and then  Alexandra Amor reached out to me with some brilliant suggestions for how she could help.

I trust her to help me with key tasks in my author business, and she even suggests things that I may not have thought of. Alexandra Amor Today, Alexandra explains how a VA can help authors.

I mean, clearly there are those of us, many of us, who either didn’t finish NaNo, or whose NaNo wasn’t long enough to finish our stories, and of course the answer for us is clear – finish that rough draft. For the rest of you, run your novel through spell-check, do a few read-throughs, make sure your story says what you want it to. I like to print it out at this stage, mark it up, write pages and pages of new material on the back, sort it out by chapter, making index cards for each one… There are a lot of ways to edit it, to clean it up and make it consumable by eyes-that-aren’t-our-own. But, eventually, we’re going to have to let the manuscript go. To send it to a beta reade...

While they may be fellow writers, there’s no rule that says they must be. The main criteria for a beta reader is that they are widely read in the genre of your story, they know what they like and don’t like, can make a guess as to why they have either reaction—and aren’t afraid to tell you. A fellow writer is going to give you plenty of opinions about metaphors, punctuation, cliches, and grammar, which is why they’re more likely to fit the bill as a critique partner than beta reader. A beta reader isn’t an...
