Hi Folks,

It's J&J from Buzzy.

On Beta Reading:  The beta boards we are setting up are 100% PRIVATE.  Uninvited guests will not be allowed to comment or read your work.    For example, if you choose to only have one beta read (where you help one person and in return one person will beta for you) -- then only the two of you plus the board moderator will have access to the works.    We will only ask someone to go through a beta read if we feel strongly that there is potential in the story and it needs just a little more help.    A beta read helps everyone - it can turn a rejection (ie. we feel it needs a tremendous edit) into a yes let's go forward with a particular story.   

The moderator of the board will have a set of rules for everyone to abide by, so if you are working with a group of betas and someone is being out of line, she will be there for you to turn to.   Also the board moderator (Theresa Bane) is a Beta reader for Jim Butcher and a published author.    A beta read should only take a about a week, so you would have an answer rather quickly -- not in limbo. 

The professional editors who will be working on the stories that have gone through a beta process are published authors themselves who are or have worked in major publishing houses.   Buzzy seeks the best.

No Emails Attachments:  VIRUSES - we have gotten them, and desire to avoid them. 

FYI - The pay rate will be 5 cents per word

Contact us with any questions, we will be happy to answer.

 It is official, we ( the Buzzy ladies @ Buzzy Multimedia ) will have copies of White Knight for sale in time for Stellar Con and I-Con. So for those of you who were going to either convention and were going to stop by and say hello to Jim Butcher, this us your chance to get the book hot off the presses AND get it autographed. For those who just don't do hardcovers and have been waiting for Proven Guilty to be out in soft cover, we will have those as well.
