Author Craft / Beta Readers
« on: August 30, 2015, 02:08:18 AM »
Question: How were some of you able to to get beta readers?
I feel like after I publish my first novel it won't be much of a problem, but right now I'm struggling to get feedback. Of my group of friends, only a portion really read much and of this number, only a fraction are comfortable giving critiques.
Then of this number, a tiny number of them have the time or inclination to read an unfinished work.
So what did you all do/are doing? Should I just give up on beta readers until I actually get something published?
