Beta Survey

Hi! I’m curious about people’s experiences with betas. If you’re a writer or a beta, would you like to share your thoughts on this with me?

Currently, my definition of a beta is someone who reads and gives feedback on an unpublished (i.e. unposted for fanfic authors) work. The type of feedback and range from simple proofreading to suggesting major rewrites. You can read more about betas here.

You can take the survey I set up here (responses should be anonymous but please let me know if not!)

Reblogs, DMs, asks, and submissions on the topic are also welcome!
