@dragon-snapper I saw the call and wondered what needed betas. I could offer reader feedback-BUT-I do not write poetry. Would that be helpful?
July 10, 2017 at 12:29 pm #36643@bethanysinkyroses Yes! Some of my readers when I am published probably won’t write it either, so if you like to read poetry, but don’t write it, you can give me all the feedback you want. 😀
@perfectfifths Okay, I think you need to email the kingdompen people here: kingdompenmag@gmail.com, telling them you that that you are beta-reading for me. Hope will oversee the exchange from there. You two, @leumeister @celticcailin
Leumeister, always good to try new things, right?
And Celticcailin, I’m just looking for constructive critique and for you to watch out for anything that contradicts itself in my poetry, something that is unclear, grammar, anything that makes the poetry…not good. 😛☀ ☀ ☀ ENFP ☀ ☀ ☀
July 10, 2017 at 1:22 pm #36647Okay! @dragon-snapper Should I PM you on the YWW? Or is there another way you like to do it?
July 10, 2017 at 1:24 pm #36648@bethanysinkyroses I’m actually not on the YWW, so just follow the instructions posted above when I tagged Perfect Fifths.

July 10, 2017 at 1:27 pm #36649@dragon-snapper Whoops! I thought you were. Okay!
July 10, 2017 at 4:10 pm #36662@dragon-snapper YAY FOR YOU! That’s so exciting! Unfortunately, I can’t beta-read right now (not to mention I don’t have much experience in poetry), but I wish you the greatest success on your book, and may you become the most famousest of the famous. 😀

July 10, 2017 at 8:36 pm #36664@Dragon-snapper, I could give it a shot. I don’t read a lot of poetry, but as it happens I’m not terribly busy at the moment.

July 10, 2017 at 8:47 pm #36665Oh, and just to let you know ahead of time, a Word document might not work on my computer, so you may end up having to put it in a Google Doc.
(For some reason I’m not seeing an option to edit my post above?)

July 10, 2017 at 11:25 pm #36668@dragon-snapper Okay, done, hopefully it works out 😀

July 11, 2017 at 8:19 am #36674I just sent an email to Kingdom Pen. I am looking forward to Beta Reading for you! I have written some poetry, but I am much better at Beta reading than at arranging my own thoughts:)
July 11, 2017 at 1:44 pm #36681@celticcailin @perfectfifths Great!
@northerner Okay, that should work. I’ll send it to you from a word doc, but I think you can probably do your edits in google docs, then just send it back to me. I pretty sure it works both ways. Thanks!
@ethryndal *bows* I’m so excited!

Beta-Readers? Right here. Ready to help. *Draws sword* If you’ll have me. I’d love to butcher your poetry for you!
*Realises a slight flaw* Oh, I can only use things on the cloud, like, Google docs, so, is that still possible? Or… just, not really?Writer | Freelance Editor

July 14, 2017 at 9:06 am #37117@jess-penrose First off…I’m sorry for taking so long to get back to you. 🙁 Bad dragon. Anyway, I could probably send it to you through the word doc, and then you’d be able to open in in Google docs there. I’ve worked with things like that before, and I’m pretty sure it works. 😀 So yeah, go ahead and shoot KP an email and we can try!
