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From time to time, our clients are interested in trading free copies of their unpublished manuscripts for honest, timely, unpaid feedback from casual readers.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

Dear writers, On New Year's Day last year I woke up, started a Meetup group, and announced a weekly writing workshop in the hope of generating a bit of income. Over the next few days I secured a meeting space after hours in a neighborhood cafe, adapted the curriculum from a workshop I'd led before, and hoped for the best. Several people registered, but icy streets and bitter cold made me cancel some of the first sessions. Then Inauguration Day arrived and I threw up my hands in despair. It...
