Beta Readers

3119/23

What is a beta reader?  A beta reader acts as a test audience and someone who reads a manuscript with the goal of providing some feedback.

I so appreciate all the people who took the time to read my book, make comments and gave me valuable feedback. Here are some of the comments and feedback so far:

My husband, Scott:  You should write a sequel!  

Paul.:  Make the vocabulary a bit simpler since your target audience is children.

Therese: Your story touched my heart.

Mark: Used the word bright a lot, switch it up.

Susan: Really cute story! Used Grace's name a bit too much.

Chrisi: Very sweet.

Denise: Your story is awesome. It's an emotional story.

Holly and Averi: Used shook off too many times? Make Jesus and what he says more omnipotent. Make the colors more vibrant when Grace is in Heaven. 

Amy:  Take out some words and clauses that are not necessary, change some wording to be more descriptive.

I have taken everyone's thoughts and constructive criticism into consideration and have made some changes. I am currently on the 8th edit of my book. I've never written a book before so is this a lot, or not even close to enough edits????
