Content Around The Web:
On Youtube/Twitch:
- What To Do When You Disagree with the Beta Reader Feedback – After you’ve finished drafting a manuscript and polishing it as well as you can on your own, for most of us, it’s time to reach out for fresh readers. While often a critical step to elevate your manuscript to the next level, you’re not always going to agree with all of the feedback. Sometimes, the beta readers are just wrong.
On Season 6 of the Podcast “Writing Tips and Writerly Musings”:
- When Writing — Small Changes Can Fix Big Issues! – Have you ever gotten feedback from someone who you respect, saying they hated your work? They liked the idea, but think you should have done it a completely different way? Sometimes, the fix is smaller than it sounds like.
