- Today I'm taking about things first time beta readers need to know. Becoming a beta reader is a fun way to read new things and help out your favorite indie authors. If you've never beta read before, this video breaks down how beta reading works from the beta reader's side, and what you can expect from the process.

As someone who is at the alpha reader stage I am glad to have found your channel. Your tips and advice combined with those of some other authors are encouraging that I can actually bring this book to a finish. Thank you for sharing your experiences and advice as an author.
I’m looking to become a beta reader over on AO3 to anyone who needs the advice and help my English isn’t perfect but I can still try so Tysm for this video it really helps a lot!!
My friend once said he saw an actual beta reader. But the light was bad; I think it was just Bigfoot.
Sydney, love your beta reading tips!👊👊
Glad you like them!
Question for the beta readers on fiver, how do I give them my story? Do I send them the story through email or do I send it through fiver?
Not gew pages?
A little off-topic than the video. How far in advance do you plot your series? Do you know how many books Olexia Legends will be?
No problem! I've had the end of the series planned since the early drafts of book 1. I'm planning on 5 right now, though that could change as I write #3! I have the basic conflict for each book planned already, and the "connecting dots" that bring the overarching plots of the series through each book. I have a tentative basic outline for 3. 4 and 5 are just pages and pages of ideas at the moment, but I know where they'll start and end. I plan to get a basic outline for 4 and 5 done before finishing 3. What about you?
I'm still a novice, I first thought beta readers are just some friends or relatives. Sorry. how much can the beta reader be paid?
U mean u need to read the whole book????
I always have a hard time finding betas.
