Re: what do you want out of a beta?

[michelel72]

What I want in a beta: The world. Someone to tell me which passages work and which don't, what flows and what doesn't, how to make the plot gripping, how to make the characters pop, how to make the language engaging. Someone to tell me how to make everything better.

What I usually get: A quick SPaG review; maybe the occasional question about a few word choices.

Back when I had time to do beta work, I was always careful to ask what the writer wanted from me, because I tend to focus pretty hard on language flow (and try to focus on characterization and voice), and not all writers want to hear that.

I used to be hardcore about always having a beta, but it got depressing that I couldn't seem to get the kind of feedback I wanted, so I've gone commando a few times.
