(Posted this in the Beta Project Subforum. I'm a newbe so hope I'm not repeating post.)
Hello Betas!
I'm a writer and musician who has gotten a lot out of using beta readers (haven't tried beta listeners yet, but that's not a bad idea). Awhile back I put together a website with a bulletin board and newsletter for beta readers called BetaReaders.us.
It's been going along pretty well with about 500 subscribers to the newsletter and the bulletin board is fairly active. There hasn't been too many issues of the newsletter because I don't want it to be my blog. What I'm hoping for is that authors will submit excerpts of their work so that beta readers can see if it's something they want to work on. I'd also like to publish articles of interest to beta readers, authors, and publishing support providers.
I'm active in Linkedin groups where there are a lot of discussions about editing v. beta reading and other topics that would be great for the newsletter, but I haven't been able to recruit anyone to write an article about it for the BetaReader newsletter. If need be I'll do it myself but as I wrote, I'm trying to avoid being author and editor.
Please take a look at the website and l let me know what you think.
