Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I can edit solely for grammar, spelling, etc., but I also love to edit for consistency and coherency. That means solid characterization and plot. My method is generally highlighting things I like, things that can improve, and things that confuse me or don't fit. I always end my edits with a few notes about the overall strengths and weaknesses of a chapter, and I try to analyze the changes I've made to give the writer a goal to work on for their next chapter and/or a skill that I think they should be proud of having. ConCrit, all the way! :)

My availability depends on the week; sometimes it'll take a week or two to get a chapter done, other times, you'll get it the next day. If you need things done pronto, I can generally do it if you ask politely.

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
Grammar and spelling are my absolute forte. BUT I'm also good at organizing sentences and plots alike and solidifying characterizations. I also like to prune out the superfluous.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I'm not very good at action scenes, but I've edited them. If you want someone to help you keep track of small details or look out for plot holes and the like, that is NOT a job for me.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
Humor, perhaps. Romantic comedies definitely. Honestly, if a plot/character intrigues me, I'll read anything to see how it ends, so I'll read/beta almost anything.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
Poetry. Fic with political agendas (that I don't agree with tbh). Absolutely nothing with incest. Certain types of horror, maybe.
