Beta-Reader n
1. An awesome, amazing person who gives freely of their time, energy and expertise to read anything from a short story to a novel (sometimes more than once) and give valuable feedback
2. An awesome, amazing person who raises tricky, interesting questions to which I currently have no answers (but I’m sure we’ll find some together)
3. Someone who is brutally honest, but kind enough to qualify their honesty with appropriately placed smiley faces
4. You know who you are. I just hope you know how thankful I am for your help!
