This episode is<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">about finding beta readers. Nurturing your supporters, your fans, and beta readers is a relationship. It is not transactional, in my opinion. You can have transactional relationships, but I want to encourage you to have real relationships with your beta readers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hi everyone. I&#8217;m Beth Barany. I am the host of How to Write the Future podcast. I&#8217;m a writing teacher and coach, and specialize in helping science fiction and fantasy writers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[00:35] Where to Find Beta Readers\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So today we&#8217;re gonna talk about how to find beta readers and the importance of beta readers. How do you find them? You may find them in your critique group, writing group, online, in your social media channels, on your email list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a Substack, that&#8217;s a good place to find them. If you&#8217;re in a writing community, that&#8217;s a good place to find them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[00:58] Preparing Your Request\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what do you ask beta readers?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s what you ask beta readers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And you can follow the resource link for the actual sample email that I suggest you send to beta readers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So first, you wanna get their agreement and get them on a waiting list so that when you are ready to send out for more feedback to these beta readers, you are ready. You have a list of people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So there you are, you have your list of people, and you get right to the point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank them for their, their feedback and support.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[01:32] Formats and Deadlines\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell them that you have attached the manuscript with the working title, or maybe you have a fixed title. Give it to them in the format they like. I usually offer people Word, PDF, or EPUB. And Draft2Digital lets you convert easily a Word document into an EPUB and PDF.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I collect what is their preferred format ahead of time in a Google form. I have a sample of that. You can see my actual beta reader request form also in the resource section.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You tell them how long it is and you give them a deadline. People love deadlines. And then you give them a list of questions. Here are six questions that I ask them, and they&#8217;re in the email, and I say, \u201cShort answers are fine.&#8221; These are not editors. These are people who are reading your book for free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;re not expecting them to be editors, copy editors, fix our typos, although some people will because they can&#8217;t help it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[02:26] Six Key Questions\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So here&#8217;s what we want to ask them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number 1: At what point does the motivation or the actions of the characters seem realistic?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number 2: Where does the story get boring?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number 3: What was missing? What do you want more of? It&#8217;s two different ways of asking the same thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number 4: What would make this a five-star story for you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number 5: Do you feel attached to the characters?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number 6: Optional. Any line edits like typos or grammar would be great.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[03:01] Set Expectations and Thanks\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then I tell them this. I say, &#8221; Thank you for your honesty. I would rather learn that my story doesn&#8217;t work now than learn that it sucks from Amazon reviewers, and I don&#8217;t take constructive criticism personally. Thanks again. Have a great week.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then I do my sign-off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that is a sample note that you can send your beta readers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[03:24] Wrap Up and Teaser<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me know if you have any questions about finding beta readers or dealing with beta readers so I can answer them in an upcoming episode. That&#8217;s all for this week, everyone. Write long and prosper.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loved this episode?
