This is for you if you have completed one full draft of your manuscript, have engaged in some significant rewrite and feel ready to have it read by Beta Readers.  And, can commit to meet up every circle. 

This is for you because you are ready to commit to getting yours and 5 other writers to publication.

  1. Feedback from 5 other writers as they do a deep dive into your manuscript.  You will get significant feedback! 
  2. Your Beta Readers will respond to specific questions you have about your manuscript and writing
  3. A 30 minute one to one mentoring session with me during your month of being Beta read!
  4. A monthly circle dedicated to you and your book  
  5. Recommendations and guidance from me along the way to make you and your Beta Reader friends ready for publication
  6. Suggested publishers and agents for your book
  7. Handouts and suggested reader tailored for you
  8. How to be a Beta Reader for yourself and others 

I will give some guidelines on how to be a good Beta reader and how to give constructive feedback. You will give feedback in at least 3 pages of notes to each writer, and up to 5.  You can make notes on the manuscript as well. (More guidance on this prior to our first circle and in our first circle). ​

My first book was published in 1989 by Doubleday.  I went on to self-publish this book and to write 10 more books.  All my books have been published through traditional publishing houses. All my manuscripts had Beta readers.
