Hi, all -
I have seen other writers posting about having "beta" readers prior to submission. Is there a formal way of linking up with other writers or is this something that kinda evolves naturally between folks who get to know each other via the forums? ~Phillipa

It’s a little of both honestly. During each writing period, look for a topic mentioning beta-ing and you can add yourself to the list as well as find people to swap with. Just gotta email them!
That being said, Me and someone else beta’d each other this time just by direct messaging each other. The spreadsheets probably the easiest way though

Here's the link to the one from the 2nd round of Flash Fiction so you can get an idea:
Like amlewi08 said, you add your email, availability and preferences, if any, and try to ping other writers via email to see if they are available. I also have my go-to betas that I email directly, but I got to know them by using the spreadsheet in previous contests! Edited by dcontarato - 01 Sep 2020 at 1:02am |

Thanks for the information. It is good that there are experts who can help with the writing. I have huge problems with this. Somehow I found a site https://writinguniverse.com/argumentative-essay-topics/ and decided to try to simplify the process of writing my essay. Even choosing a topic was difficult for me. And would definitely not have coped up with my task by myself.
