Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hello! As a beta-reader, I like to edit writing into something that I would enjoy reading. When I read, I look for grammatical and spelling errors, as well as writing style and word choice. Sometimes people use non-descriptive adjectives or repeat themselves a lot, and I can help them change their wording so that their story will flow better. As an avid reader, I know that people often add things to stories that slow them down, rather than enhance the writing. When I edit, I make suggestions on how to keep the story running smoothly by cutting out bits that don't work and adding details that improve the overall story.

In summary, if you need help with general errors, I'm your editor, but if you wish to enhance your overall writing I would be delighted to help out. I don't know why, but editing is s great joy to me as well as a career path I'm looking into. I look forward to reading your work!

My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
In the betareading process I excel at making stylistic choices that make stories run smoothly and keep the reader interested. If part of your writing is dry and boring I won't hesitate to suggest a few ideas on how to regain your reader's interest. If you can't think of a word that works for that sentence, I'm here to help!
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Writing and editing has helped me to learn about my weaknesses with grammar. I catch most of the grammar mistakes I see, but sometimes a few slip past my notice. Obvious ones stick out to me, but some of the obscure ones can cause me difficulties. I'll try my hardest to make sure that I catch everything when reading your work!
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I'm okay with reading anything, although I would probably LOVE it if you were writing about my fandoms or ships. Whatever your story is about, it would be an honor to be your editor. However, some things I do love to read are romantic fics about my ships which include: Dramione, Johnlock, Frostiron, Destiel, Tenrose, and many, many more which can be found on my blog (link on profile) under the ships page, or you can just message me.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I will be happy to beta read anything!
