    Great achievement! (Got to admit, the build-up made me LOL). So rewarding to see hard work pay off in this way, and I look forward to seeing how the feedback helps you improve the story. Inspired by this video to push ahead with my WIP! Thanks!

    If you would like future beta readers that you don’t know I’d love to participate! I also know that we don’t know each other personally but I’m so proud of you for finishing that draft 😃 I can’t wait to get to that part in my writing journey one day ❤️

    Also omg love island was the epitome of quarantine trash tv for me 😂

    • @SaraLubratt
      @SaraLubratt  3 роки тому

      It's the only bookstore that I know that has a cat and the bookstore is named after it!! Bookstore cats are magical creatures and I wish every bookstore had a cat.
      Love Island is a different kind of genius.

    So you sent the whole book as a Word document in an email? Just checking what I should be doing.

    • @SaraLubratt
      @SaraLubratt  27 днів тому

      That's what I did! But google docs or something works too. I just wanted my beta readers to be able to leave comments in the document!

    • @SaraLubratt
      @SaraLubratt  2 роки тому +1

      Authortube is the general term for writers on youtube :). I met friends through youtube and sent out my manuscript to a few of them because they were friends and writers

    Damn. I'm actually interested to see more of that beautiful landscape. Where's the justice in rush filming it for two seconds? ;)
    How many rounds do you do with beta readers? I mean, you give it to them and then they give it back to you with their critic. And then you return it to them?

    • @SaraLubratt
      @SaraLubratt  3 роки тому

      Lol the landscape was not the point of the video so I wanted to keep it short. This is my first time ever using beta readers so this is new to me! I assume I'll do at least two rounds before querying but I don't know!

    How do you find Beta readers? I used Reddit last time, but I was wondering if there were other ways or what your preferred method is.
