As a writer, I think this step is often skipped out of fear. I don't know if I really want people close to me to "critique" my work, often leaving my own opinion as the one that prevails. I know in my mind this is NOT wisdom, but I lack the willingness to expose myself to any negative commentary. Thank you for sharing these questions. It helps me to de-personalize the feedback from my beta readers and get the help that every writer needs.
I loved hearing your perspective on writers and beta reading; thank you for sharing! Getting feedback can be the hardest part of writing, so however I can help—let me know!
There's no questions for non-fiction beta readers. The fiction questions are listed twice. Marilyn
