Beta Readers
What Are BETA READERS?
Beta readers are individuals who provide feedback on a piece of writing, like a book manuscript, before it's published. They act as a test audience, offering insights from a reader's perspective to help the author identify areas for improvement in plot, pacing, characters, and overall enjoyment.
