Need Beta for a BIG Job 15 Years, 1 Month ago Karma: 38
I have a beta, a wonderful lovely beta, but she's busy with life and I have a mega project that I can't expect her to do.

I've finished going through and making all my edits to 'She Who the Prophecy Foretold', but I need a beta, a very good and thorough beta, to go through all but 5 of 79 chapters, around 400,000 words, for me.

I would like a beta that uses the Microsoft Word comment balloons. You'd need to be good with comma rules especially, because I overuse and then go back through and remove commas horribly. I also like comments where a sentence just sounds funny, with suggestions on how to fix it.

Because it's such a big job, please be sure that you are up for going through the whole thing because I really would rather not change betas somewhere along the way. If there are several volunteers I'd like to send them all one chapter, the same chapter, so I can compare beta styles and find someone who fits well with me.

Hopefully at least one person will be up for the job! I want to get all the edits done so I can actually update the thing!!

Funny you should be posting this, cause I'm actually rereading SWTPF on spark.

I would love to beta your story, but maybe a trail chapter is needed to see if we would work well.

I had one other volunteer as well, so I'm going to send out a test chapter. Could you give me an email address for you? Thanks so much!

Hello,

I've been a big fan of your stories for a long time and am eagerly waiting for you to update "She Who the Prophecy Foretold". I am not a writer myself but have really good editing skills and ability. I would be happy to take this on for you.

My email address is Sarasama1@yahoo.com.

Thanks
