#Writerscoffeeclub Day 27 How do you find beta readers? Would you beta read yourself?
I have a whole 50-min presentation on this topic! But for the short answer, I like Goodreads for finding strangers to read my work. Writers' groups are also a plum source. The Maryland Writers Assoc has the Novel Exchange for its members.
I have beta'd for people. I enjoyed it. I'm fascinated by other people's writing and revising habits. I think you can learn a lot by reading others' WIPs
