I am an Author.

1. May we send your survey response to your partnered beta reader?

Sure, can't see why not.

2. Are you new to beta reading?

Yes and no. I have had people Beta-read my work before, but they were to close to me to say anything about errors.

3. Your age (optional):

consenting adult. (bin writing for 20 years if that helps)

4. Genre(s) – Please be specific:

I write every genre and nearly every type of format.

5. Rating: G, PG, PG-13, R, or MA?

Depending on the story, all of the above.

6. Warnings: Sex, violence, politics, religion, and other hot button issues.

Most of my story's are written in a way to relieve my mind from thoughts about what goes about in the world and my direct surrounding. So I can write about the weather or a Gay serial killer who goes after religious politicians. I don't hold back.

7. What's your writing skill level?

My writing started as a way to tell my story's and to overcome my dyslexia. In time I have become better than the average beginner but no where near a professional.

8. What writing aspects are you trying to improve?

What I hope to improve is the flow of my longer story's. I'm quite capable to have a start, middle and end to my shorter ones, but the second my story become longer than 8000 words I loose oversight, my characters loose dept and I let holes drop in the plot.
The next thing that needs improvement is that I need somebody to pick my inconsistent words out of the ruble. It happens that I call something "this" the one moment and "that" the other.

9. What are you looking for in the beta reader?

Somebody that isn't afraid to 'hurt' my feelings when pointing out flaws. Somebody that isn't scarred about putting there foot down. Somebody that can handle a moody, shy, and seriously lacking trust in ones self writer. Somebody that doesn't quit the second my temper gets the better of me. Somebody that understands that I am completely loyal to those I trust and is capable to give the same amount of loyalty.
In short somebody that I can build a long-lasting 'relationship' with.

10. Do you promise to put sincere effort into your partnership?

If I wasn't I'd never have filled in this survey.
this is the author survey I filled when I joined :iconbeta-readers: .
