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. ; )
Ann Marie Swaim Oh that's a cool site! Bookmarked :)
Tia Tormen I love this! Thank you for posting, Sandra!

2.WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE SCENE AND WHY?

3.WHAT WAS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE SCENE AND WHY?

4.WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE PROTAGONIST(S)?

5.WAS ANYTHING CONFUSING OR UNCLEAR?

6.WAS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD CHANGE ABOUT THE CHAPTER AND WHY?

7.RATE YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE CHAPTER ON SCALE OF 1-10 WITH ONE BEING LOWEST AND TEN BEING HIGHEST.

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.

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...
