Question on Beta-Readers
Ren:
Do those of you who have beta readers require an NDA before letting them read?
Is it something that should be done?
I've gotten enough written that I think I can start considering official Beta-readers instead of the one friend I have reading it now.
LizW65:
Nope, just people I trust who have good instincts regarding fiction.
If you're Stephen King or J.K. Rowling or somebody like that it might be a good idea, though.

If you are wary enough of someone to think of offering them an NDA, I doubt you should be considering them as a beta in the first place.

Yeah. Beta's are just people too. Frankly I've found the gaumat runs from people you know to out and out strangers. And if you don't like their feedback you either cut them off right then and there. Or else finish your novel and don't invite them again.
But NDA? I don't even know what the name means and I've already got 4 full novels and a novella up on amazon.
