What’s New With Short’s Shorts
Request For Alpha Readers
An alpha reader is the first person to read a draft manuscript. They are asked to provide detailed feedback about the grammar, punctuation, spelling and sentence structure. This can be done in a few words or a lot – up to you. The alpha reader is looking at the rough draft, providing input before the beta reader and editors.
If you would enjoy working with an upcoming author, contact me at brendashort@writingblog.ca or send your information through the ‘contact me’ button below.
If you are working on a manuscript and would find this kind of feedback useful, please contact me for more information.
Beta Readers Group
If you would like to have Beta feedback on your manuscript, we have a group of writers that share ideas on novels in progress. The beta reader gives feedback on premise, plot, characters, and other technical story mechanics. We meet once a month on Zoom. Contact me for more information,
