What to ASK Your BETA READERS (And How To Find Good Betas)

How do I find my beta readers? When do I let my betas read my book? And what do I ask them AFTER they read my book? These are questions I get a lot sooo I thought it was about time I do a WHOLE VIDEO on this topic. ;)

Today's episode of WritersLife Wednesdays all about BETA READERS: what to ask yourself BEFORE you choose them, HOW to choose beta readers that are the right fit for you + your story, and the questions you should ask them AFTER they read your story to get the most useful feedback...and make your book the BEST it can be.

Comment below and tell me: how do you find YOUR beta readers? Are you related to any of them??

____________________________________________
THE QUESTIONS I ASK MY BETA READERS:
- What did you think of the story as a whole?
- How did the characters develop throughout the story?
- At what point did you feel like “ah, now the story has really begun!”
- Were there any parts you found yourself skimming?
- What was your favorite part of the story and why?
- What was the most suspenseful moment in the book?
- Who was your favorite character and why?
- Were there any moments you wish lasted longer?
- What is the theme/message you took away from the story?

✨ A B O U T ✨
My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.

Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel – and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!
