Aitch Diamond | 6 comments Hi all. I am considering adding a new beta reading service option to my website. There are so many people out there searching for beta readers and I want to be able to offer to help. I am a copy-editor and proofreader for self-publishing authors; it is how I make my living so I cannot do it for free. Also, I struggle to ignore errors, so I am wondering if I can even do it; to skim over errors and reach the plot, whilst resisting the temptation to correct them! So I would welcome a few test submissions. I offer the first 1000 words editing anyway when assessing costs for new clients, so I would include that in my beta read, though I cannot guarantee to edit the entire first 1000 words if the revisions are extensive. If you would like to submit the first 10K words to me, I will accept the first three people for a FREE test of my abilities, from people who would be willing to reply and tell me what they think of my beta reading, so I can get this right. They will get an hour of sample editing (1000 words more or less) included in the beta read. So what would you be happy to pay? I like to be fair to both myself and my clients. If you would like a trial please visit my website at www.aquae-sulis-editing.com, fill out the form, click other (but state beta read somewhere in your submission) and upload 10K of your novel. I will only accept the first 10K words for now.
