First off, if this is the wrong place, feel free to move it.
Anyway. Now that I've gotten feedback from my three betas, I realize how incredibly different they are.
Beta A: Read the first half and was very confused on what was happening.
Beat B: Read the first 4 chapters. Said the plot was clear.
Beta C: (Who later became my alpha beta) read the whole thing and only pointed out two confusing spots.
Now I'm working with comparing A and C, but for literally everything A said didn't work (dual POV, characters didn't sound the right gender, ect), C said the exact opposite (the dual POV was necessary, they sounded the right gender.) Even the spots C picked out that were confusing, A didn't mark.
I'm not sure what to do at this point. I want to keep editing before I send out to my editor (who likes to keep track of the story line and characters). The question is...what do I edit? Should I let my Mom read through it real quick and mark anything confusing? I don't know...
