What is Beta Reading?

If by any chance, you are not aware of the term Beta reading, let me explain it to you.

A writer writes the book. Then he edits it. Or, we can say, he read it and re-read it. 

He tries everything to make the book finer.

But at some time, the saturation point occurs. At that point, the writer can’t read his book again to find problems.

To solve it, beta readers enter. They read the book of writer, and provide him a fresh look.

The best part is beta readers provide the perspective of a reader.

Are they paid or not?

There is various type of beta-readers.

Sometimes they demand money in exchange for the feedbacks. Many do it for free, because they have free time, and they love reading. Many do it for portfolio, and many do it for books.

It all related to quality. People who do good wants to get paid fairly.

How Beta Reading can help your book?

Beta-reader could help your writing by providing you the important feedback that was missing from point of sight.

There are many little-big, stupid-funny and glaring-hidden plot holes in the books.

With the help of beta reader-

  • You get important feedbacks.
  • Look at the readers’ perspective.
  • See what is missing or overdone.
  • Can improve before sending to Editor.
  • Gives you confidence in your book.

It is just the general benefit. You can have to use the beta reader as you want.

Some people ask beta readers a variety of question, and some ask for their general views.

How Good I am as a Beta Reader?

I am reading books for a long time.

You can see my GoodReads. And I have done lots of Beta Reading.

And all of the writers are happy with my work until now.
