    Sometimes it takes another person to tell you that your story… is simply wonderful. Sometimes it takes another person to tell you that your story… is bloody awful. But what is it that a Beta Reader does, how do they do it, and what really is the difference between them and the host of other…

Honestly, take tentative steps until you find something that works for you. I’ve spoken before about the basics of advertising but it never ceases…
