Looking for Beta Readers

Happy Easter everyone!

Now, it's hard to believe that in all my years, I really haven't had much in the way of what are known as 'Beta' readers or even 'Alpha' readers if you will, so...

This is an open call for Alpha and Beta Readers, if you wish to take part send me an e-mail at stellarmagic01@gmail.com

Now, to explain what exactly an Alpha or Beta reader is, at least to me, is to put it this way. When someone first starts making much of anything... They usually need someone behind them to cheer them on.  This is the primary job of an Alpha Reader, to demand the next chapter and force me to write it.  Right now my focus is on Original Fiction, so if you want to volunteer for a Fanfiction Alpha or Beta reading position, just wait until I have one available to you.

A Beta Reader is someone who does more than demand the next chapter, a beta reader helps a writer iron out mistakes, call out problems, and effectively... acts to critique what I write in the hope of improving it.

I should say that you really should only volunteer to be an Alpha if you're able to deal with very rough works... Anyway. Here are the positions I'm looking for.

Alpha Reader and Beta Reader for the Ambrose Chronicles, a Science Fiction/YA.
Alpha Reader and Beta Reader for the Fox's Tale series, a Fantasy/YA.

Details about these stories can be found on my 'Projects' Page.

Once again, this is an open call for Alpha and Beta Readers, if you wish to take part send me an e-mail at stellarmagic01@gmail.com
