Sending out the call for Beta Readers!

Feb 12, 2014 -

Hello all you honorary citizens of Lentari! The second volume in the Tales of Lentari is rapidly approaching the finish line so it’s that time to send out a request to anyone that might be interested in being a beta reader for me. I already have a few lined up, but as anyone knows with writing, the more eyes you have checking over your work, the better.

The requirements are having a healthy grasp of the English language. As Derek will attest, there are times when I’m typing along and my fingers can’t keep up with my brain, so what appears on the page is a bastardized version of the scene playing out in my head. I’m looking for people not afraid to tell me if something doesn’t sound right, or if I left a plot hole open, or perhaps something just isn’t clear. The more help I get cleaning this thing up the better. Plus, I’ll leave you a shout-out in the acknowledgments!

Interested? Post a comment here and let me know! Thanks in advance for giving me a hand!

Hi Wendy! Thx for stopping by! It means a lot!

I already have the set of Beta Readers selected to give me a hand with Tales of Lentari #2. Keep an eye on the blog. I’ll post news about giveaways, contests, and will occasionally ask the fans for suggestions with naming fictional characters. You never know, your character might end up in a book!

Scotland, huh? I’ve always heard Scotland is a scenic place. Not too much to see around me here. Desert, desert, and more desert. *sigh*

I majored in English, with a minor in Psychology. I know my comments on FB, rarely if ever show that I do have a firm grasp on proper structure.

As an avid reader, spelling errors, sentence structure, even proper use of commas, etc., stand out. The flow of a story is vital.

I hope to be considered as a beta reader, and offer my love of reading, and many decades of reading, and writing papers.

Derek is amazing. Even on FB, he never allows the informality of the setting to detract his banter.

Thank you. Not only for writing novels that I truly enjoy, but for your consideration.

Regards,
Laura
