The Beta Reader: and preparing your book for beta reading

by Elizabeth Eyles

Ideal handbook for the writer who wants to be read Beta readers play an increasingly pivotal role in eBook publications, but it is a role that has been hard to define. This guide not only outlines the ideal Beta reader, it helps writers prepare their manuscripts for that first important reading, and in the process fills in what the ideal Beta reader should know, and be looking for.

No, no estoy leyendo esto. Pero como estoy haciendo de lector beta, pues me viene bien coger algo así.

If you've written your first novel, or your output, no matter how good the story, is generally getting more criticism than good feedback, this is a little gem, it does exactly what it says on the cover. It tells you how to pull your book into shape, how to find beta readers for their priceless (albeit sometimes stinging, but always useful) feedback, and put a stronger product out there.

Also very nearly indispensable for anyone who has been asked to be a beta reader, or enjoys beta reading but wants to take it up a level.
