Beta Reader Training is Available

Your Training is Here!

This past Tuesday I recorded a training session going over how our process works and everything (I hope) you need to know to get started reading. Thank you @mariannewest for coming!

The link to the video is in the email I sent out a short while ago. It's also in the Beta Reader channel in the Freewrite House Discord.

The video lasts just about 30 minutes if you stay for both the reader and the writing info. There are some interactive bits where we practice how to use one of the processes (that you've not likely seen elsewhere). Please be sure to watch this section and give it a try. If you want, you can send me your results and I will pass them along to the authors of the books we review in practice.

At the risk of seeming like a nag, please watch this portion of the video at least. If you don't, you probably won't understand what you're supposed to do when you get the first book to review.

Please don't share the video. At some point I will update for general consumption, but right now it's just for our small group (and I'm lamenting the lack of an audio search and replace for all my "Umms"!).

The training packet PDF covers the same information as the video, except for the live practice bits I mentioned above. You can download the training packet using the link in the email or on the Freewrite House Beta Readers Discord Channel.

Keep an eye on your email

I'll be sending out an email about the first manuscript tomorrow (March 21). Watch the video and read the packet so you'll know what to do!

If you're not on the Discord, or if you are but don't have access to the channel, you can ask me ntowl#9845 for help. I'll get you sorted on the channel.
