Beta readers

For the life of me, I cannot find my list of people who wanted to beta read the next novel. Email me on here or find me on Facebook if you are able and wanting to beta read the companion novel for Tent City and Red River. It takes place 60 years later and is cooking up to be something pretty wild (if I do say so myself.) I have a date set with the editor for June 7th, so I'm hoping I can have beta readers commit for the third week in May. I may be over-reaching, but just hoping to get a short listed started to keep the motivation train running.

Happy Reading!

Kelly

Tammy I would love to be a beta reeader for you. I dont usually read this type of book but Tent City drew me in and i couldn't put it down . I really like you're style of writing. You make it believeable and interesting i couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next.
it would be an honor to do this. I am a fast reader but i comprehend anda also catch grammar and spelling errors. My Mother taught English so this was drummed into my head.
A funny coincidence, my birthday is June 7, the same day as your meeting, we both will be celebrating that day.
Thank you for your consideration
Tammy

Kelly Hull Tammy, I'm behind so it's looking like the end of June if that will work for you :)

Tammy That would be great. I just finished Red River last night and can't wait to read the next. You have me hooked!

Kelly Hull Sounds good :)

Kelly Hull If it's not too much of a bother and it doesn't have to be long, would you mind leaving reviews? They help indies out a lot.

Thanks,

Here's the link if you are so inclined :)

Tammy Sure, I'm new here, not really sure how everything works yet. I've been working on reviews, I read that I needed to do 5 reviews of 400 words to start to be considered to be given free books to review. I'm not worried about getting paid (it would be nice) but my love is reading. I'm trying to perfect my reviews, do justice to you while also making it long enough and not giving away too much

Kelly Hull Lots of authors give away free books when you sign up for Read for Reviews. Helps feed the reading habit :)

Kelly Hull oh and I forgot to say thank you for your nice comments above, so thank you :)

Tammy How do I sign up for that? Sorry to ask so many questions, I'm having a hard time finding my way around this site. If you're busy please let me know or feel free to answer later. I know when I'm working I don't like to be disturbed when the muse is flowing, I have a sign I post, "My Muse and I are busy creating, enter, knock or disturb in any way unless it's an emergency will be hazardous to your health". My 2 grandsons finally have learned to respect that and know they will get their time too.

Kelly Hull I love that saying! I need to teach my husband when the muse is in the room :)

If you are on Facebook, go to the page Band of Dystopian and join there. There are read for reviews all the time there and also they have some here on Goodreads. You can just look up "Read for Reviews" for groups and you can find the genre you are interested in. But find Band of Dystopian Authors and Fans, we have a lot of fun there!

Tammy Finally got the Tent City review done. Sorry it took so long. I hope it does justice to such a great book. Please let me know what you think and what I need to change, improve upon for my review of Red River. I should have doing reviews pretty much perfected by the time you're finished with book 3.
Have a fun and safe weekend

Kelly Hull Just checked it out and wow....I feel very honored by your words. I can't imagine ever wanting to change anything you would ever write, as the reviews are yours and authors are lucky to be able to have a glimpse into what someone feels about the stories they tell. I just want to say thank you for such a thoughtful and heart-warming review.

Thanks, Tammy, the review was very touching. It will be among my favorites. You have a fun and safe weekend too!

Tammy Thanks I just wrote the truth, just wasn't sure about the layout and things like that. I do reviews of tutorials about different methods of beading, wire working and silversmithing and there are certain criteria to follow. I get points towards the purchase of tutorials for those reviews.
I'd much rather get a book to read and write an honest review in return, I will have a hard time if I don't like it, I have to be honest but I know from my experience being an artist How much it hurts when someone doesn't like my work. I have learned to review making sure to say it's my opinion if it's the story I don't like but if it's the way it's written, the grammar or spelling I try to find ways to suggest in a positive manner ways to improve.
I have no such worries when writing reviews of your books and now that I know that there are no strict criteria to follow it won't take so long. I do remember seeing when I first found this site reviews needed to be 400 words, I can't find this again. Do you know anything about this?
Have a fun and safe weekend
