Beta Description
Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
Hello! My username is JayPolar, but you can call me Jay. When I beta your work, I focus on grammar and content. If something in the story does not make sense, I bring it up. However, as I have edited papers before, I understand that my role is to not criticize your work. I only bring up my questions as for clarification. As for fixing grammar, punctuation, etc., I edit them when necessary. Still, I try to keep integrity of the line, paragraph, or chapter. If there are any major changes regarding them, I will message you and try to understand what your thought process. Since it is your story, I also give you the rights to edit sentences if how I fixed them is not how you intended it to portray. However, please do message me first before doing so. This way, I can better edit your story without changing the plot of the story.
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am great at fixing grammar, syntax, and punctuation errors. I also am good at creating a more elaborate text so that readers can imagine/picture the scene.
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I am not the best at summarizing texts - meaning that I get a little bit too elaborated with my words sometimes.
Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
I prefer stories that I do know about, or at least have some background knowledge on. For example, I know mostly British and American TV shows, films, and books. I do know some Filipino, Australian, and other TV shows and films. However, it does mean that I am not open to beta-ing your work if I do not know the story. Just please message me first of the name of the show, film, or book.
Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
If your story is rated M, please warn me. Consequently, please warn me if it is on the chapter that I will be reading and warn me what the scene is. Based on your message and description of the chapter, I will hold you accountable for it and edit. However, if you give me false information or withhold information about how provocative or violent scene is, I will not be editing your story or any of your future stories.
