What is a beta? It seems like they are test readers who read stories and gave feedback prior to submission. How do I find them for next time?
Thanks! |

You're right. A beta reader is an early test reader that gives feedback and helps with revisions. During every NYCM contest, there is a forum post that has a place for people to sign up to beta read. You can find that post, put your information on it, and contact others that are willing to beta read. Generally, people swap betas--so they'll read your story if you read theirs.
There's also a NYCM writers' group on Discord that is a very good place to get feedback. (https://forums.nycmidnight.com/nycm-writers-group-discord-server_topic34218_page1.html) |

How do we go about finding beta readers for round 2? I've never made it this far before. Is it the same list as for round 1, or is there a new one?

I did not make it into round 2, but if no one else creates a beta list I will.
