Elizabeth O'Neill asked Ann Livi Andrews:

What is a Beta reader? Thank you for your help.

Ann Livi Andrews Hi Elizabeth!

A beta reader is someone who reads your final draft of your work prior to publishing. Almost like a test run for your book :) They give you feedback on how it made them feel and whether or not the plot worked for them. It's a final chance to make a few changes before publishing.

Hope this answers your question!

Thank you,
Ann
