Hi Lynn, I'm also a journalist. Work for the national broadcaster in Canada. But my true passion is writing. I've self published on YA novel, but I've struggled making connections to find reliable, supportive beta readers and critique partners. Any tips?
Lynne Stringer
Thanks for the question. :-)
I've never used beta readers, instead going straight to professional editors who I know have the experience and training to help me make my book the best it can be. I guess being a professional editor myself means I trust them. I also know quite a few good ones, so that helps.
I find being the member of writers' groups, both local and online, can be a great source of info on where to find the best people to help you make the book the best it can be, as many of them have also searched for the same things in their time as writers. :-)
