Still want to be a Wild Beta Reader?
Dear Reader,
I hope you're doing well and reading good books! You may have noticed that we took a hiatus for a while; I had to get rid of some pesky stage-4 cancer and assimilate a new liver, but I'm cancer free now and we're ready now to get back to business -- which means bringing you two new novels to beta-read!
But first, a question:
Do you still want to be a Wild Beta Reader? If you're not, just hit Unsubscribe & we'll leave your inbox alone.
What is a Wild Beta Reader?
From time to time, our clients are interested in trading free copies of their unpublished manuscripts for honest, timely, unpaid feedback from casual readers. If you’re on our Wild Beta list, we’ll send you a special edition of our newsletter whenever a new book becomes available. If the book appeals to you, you can request a Microsoft Word or Kindle version, and you'll have three weeks to read the book and respond to our Wild Beta Questionnaire. There's no obligation to say yes to any given book, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Here's a sample of our Wild Beta Questionnaire for fiction.
I'll be sending Beta Bait for those two new novels soon, so I hope you'll stay tuned!
All the best,
Meghan

I should just pack up and go home, or stay in my lane and stick to...
