One time, one asked me what I was working on. After I told her, I asked if she wanted to read a little of it and tell me if I was on the right track. She said YES! Another time, I told a reviewer that I wished she'd read my book BEFORE I'd published it and she offered to read a rough draft for me in the future. <br /><br />That's one way I've fallen into getting a beta reader or two. But they all seem like accidental incidents to me. I guess if you're on a first name basis with one of your reading fans that has contacted you in the past, you could probably ask her! I don't really know!Linda Kagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259042112816376940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813931369346468387.post-79940544426643947242013-03-04T05:17:33.995-05:002013-03-04T05:17:33.995-05:00Good idea.
