Bobbie asked Tito Kithes Athano:

Hi, Robert (Tito), I read that you do beta reading on sci-fi. I'm looking for a few beta readers, and would not mind paying back in kind. I've been a member of Critters for nearly ten years, off and on, plus I am part of a regular writers group, so I have some experience. Not to mention that I 've read sci-fi for many years. Would you consider a trade of beta services? You can reach me at kaphri@aol.com Bobbie

Tito Kithes Athano Yes, I'm always willing to do a Beta-read in a genre I like. No charge, no return Beta-read required. I try to be helpful and constructive, but above all I say it like I see it because I prefer my Beta readers to be brutally honest with me. I didn't use any Betas or proof readers for the Rome series because that was just a hobby exercise I put through a vanity publisher for the fun of it, before I started to take writing seriously. Their poor production quality shows!

But now I'm serious about the job, so there is no room for sensitive blossoms here; it's all about trying to make the work as good as it can be.
