Hello, fellow writers.

Longtime NYCM participant @andrea and I are conducting some research about beta reading, and would appreciate your help!

This survey --> https://forms.gle/Wmk5E9vBP6HwBAZdA will only take about five minutes of your time.

Very much appreciate the support! If you have any questions, please feel free to DM me.

Best,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

I just completed the survey. I'd love to see the results afterward. Will you share them with the group or through a DM with the participants? 

Thank you!

Done! 
I love betas and I’ve learnt so much and made great writing friends doing it. It adds a lot of fun to writing. But I’d also really love if contests asked writers to list their beta count.

Done! :D I find beta reading so helpful as someone still relatively new, and would love to become a better beta reader myself.

Interesting survey.

I've enjoyed giving beta feedback in the past, and yes, I've gotten beta feedback as well, but I tend to not have a lot of expectations because beta reading is a flow that you have where you are doing way more than copy edit or even structural edit. To me it's about reading a story to get the layers of meanings and feelings from the story.
This is not the signature you are looking for.
