  1. CW: My Git experimentation for beta reader reviewing thoughts.

    As I continue to use my Git workflow for beta readers, I am realizing Git just isn't for fiction prose and everything I am doing is tricks and hacks to work with it.

    I ended up hiring someone to build me a python script that is interactive.

    The common frustration I ran into was,

    let's say Jason edited a paragraph in Chapter 1.

    Jane edited the same paragraph but a different section.

    I wanted Git to smartly present these as changes and have me reject, accept, and or set them aside for later.

    It couldn't do that with Git. I'd eventually have to open files and compare myself, which defeats the reasoning. I was contorting Git to the point it stopped making sense to hack and contort.

    I gave up and just use Git as glorified Cloud storage and for tracking my own changes to my own MD files.

    My trial and errors to turn Git into more of a track changes system that was screen reader friendly wasn't cutting it, so I just decided to pay someone money to make me a non-vibed Python script that includes multiple things such as Critic Markup support, Pandoc's Track Changes support when I convert DOCX to MD using --track-changes=all,

    and other goodies that compare comments, compares insertions, deletions, and far more inside of text files and MD files.

    I *could* use Google Docs and Track changes, but I like working with local text files, and I have more than five beta readers.

  14. Audio Interview: How Beta Readers Help Authors See Their Books Through Readers’ Eyes, with Howard Lovy and Elizabeth Gauffreau

    On the Self-Publishing with ALLi podcast, host Howard Lovy talks to novelist, poet, and educator Elizabeth Gauffreau about beta readers — what they actually do, how they differ from developmental editors, and why their real job is reader response, not critique. Drawing on decades of giving and receiving feedback as a writer and teacher, Gauffreau explains how authors can set clear expectations, choose the right readers, sort through conflicting feedback, and know when a reader's gut reaction matters more than being factually right.

  35. Hey #book people, I'm looking for a few #betareaders to tell me if my new #novel done in 1st person is working

    There is no money for this, and you need to be comfortable with #lgbtq+ strong female characters, modern #noir and #death

    There are 10 chapters to read out of a planned 30, and they are not raw, but are unpolished

    What I am looking for:
    - does the voice work
    - would you want to read more about Adèle
    - are the #goth and #lesbian characters and themes coherent

  45. #WritersCoffeeClub ~ How well did this short month go for you, in terms of writing?

    #ScribesAndMakers ~ How did your month go?

    • #KonginiIdol is being uploaded EP by EP. It's all writing. So I've been a bit at loose ends, writing flash and working on two "new" novels.
    • "#Bijou the #TimeTravelingGhost," an Edgar Rice Burroughs X Jack Vance style pulp. I have mixed feelings about it. 20K is written. I need to do another polishing and adaptation pass for broader release. And I need #BetaReaders.
    • "#Airiusi: The Crow and the Witch." A Tanith Lee-style Mythpunk story. 5K written. The early release is getting favorable remarks. The main narrator is a #Crows, which is both fun and challenging to write.

    In return, I want feedback on anything that was confusing or broken
