Beta Readers Are People Too!
Hey there boys and girls!

For those of you currently listed as Beta Readers, if you have not received my personal emails, please contact me immediately concerning your status and updating your Beta Blurb. I’d like to thank those of you who have already gotten a hold of me.

Recruits: At this time I would like to invite any current authors who feel they could formally handle the task to apply to join our ‘Elite Staff’. It is not an easy duty, but it is extremely satisfying.

We do have a Beta Reader examination, and we do require you to be a published author. This simply ensures perspective—you’ve been at the keyboard sweating a story yourself. If you are interested please let me know at your convenience. Thanks!

i am interested in offering my services



Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2008.09.22 - 11:31PM to say:

I'll try to get you the examination ( 'I' not 'i') tomorrow and I'll have my elfin staff check your icebox to see which coffee you prefer. One requirement is that you've read, and reread our rules and submission requirements. Thanks! Eric

Nuvisionary came out of the woodwork on 2008.09.23 - 08:30AM to say:

I love my Beta - though...I really doubt I could write a coherent sentence without his help.



AnotherWeasley came out of the woodwork on 2008.09.24 - 12:51PM to say:

I haven't seen an email, Spenser. What do I need to know? I'm a current Beta, but I'm inactive since the school year started.



ginny_lola came out of the woodwork on 2008.09.24 - 03:36PM to say:

I'd maybe be interested...



Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2008.09.24 - 05:42PM to say:

AnotherWeasley--Current Betas need to contact me off-line (email) to let me know their status. Eric



Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2008.09.26 - 09:12AM to say:

I'd like to welcome two new Beta Readers to our SIYE staff. Rogan and MinistryMalcontent have both graciously agreed to help us out.



hot48cricket came out of the woodwork on 2008.09.26 - 07:23PM to say:

Ah...I'd love to be a beta - but I don't write! I am an excellent proofreader! Thank you to the betas and the writers...you give me hours of enjoyment!



sanidad came out of the woodwork on 2008.09.27 - 12:13AM to say:

hot48cricket and anyone else in the same situation... I believe one only needs to post a story or two on SIYE to qualify to be a Beta reader. One does not need to constantly post stories. If you're as good a proofreader as you say, I hope you reconsider. A large stable of available Betas can only make SIYE better. My 2 Knuts (not that you asked for it)...



Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2008.09.30 - 05:16PM to say:

I would like to welcome in kingbobrules as our latest staff Beta Reader.

I intend to approach her to see if she'd like to help us repair the six-foot-wide hole in the roof above the SIYE Ballroom--the holidays are quickly approaching. Hmm...maybe I'll ask Spenser to help instead. Those things I wrote about him and power tools are all...no they're not.



Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2008.09.30 - 05:51PM to say:

Great Gadfrey! I've bamboozled...I mean we've convinced yet another to help out. I'd like to welcome Ginny Guerra to our staff as well.

One last time...if any of the Beta Readers that I've tried to contact haven't gotten back to me thus far, please do so now. We need you. We love you (platonically). We can always use your help. Thanks! Eric



seaswimmer came out of the woodwork on 2008.10.04 - 05:59PM to say:

So... with the new challenge that's up, can those hot48crickets amongst us post a few entries to become potential beta-readers....? Or is there something about the letter & the spirit of the law that I've conveniently overlooked?? ;-)



Victor Aagaard came out of the woodwork on 2008.10.06 - 05:20PM to say:

I applied a couple of years ago; I think I passed the test, but the admins were all busy and I was never listed in the directory. That was back when I had free time. =(
