In Great Need of a Beta

[Andrea]

Hello all!

I'm working on a very short book containing an essay, 3 short stories, and three poems. The essay and one of the short stories are already corrected by one of my teachers, and could use just a quick read through for obvious errors.

The other two are in decent shape (I think, but I've discovered I'm grammar inept...)

And poems are poems, and all they need are helpful critique.

I do need this done ASAP, so if you can do any of these that would be fabulous!!!

Thanks!!!

I'd be glad to take a look at the essay and short stories, but I'm afraid I'm horrible at poems.

If you want you can either email or pm me them and I'll take a look.

I suppose i could do your poems, it's the one thing I'm good at.

[Andrea]

Oooh! Yay! *bounces* Thank you very much!!! I'm so excited. I'll e-mail you both soon. If either of you don't have Microsoft Word let me know which program would be better for you.

Well, even though you already have M and Ark, I can volunteer as well, just for a third (or fourth, including your teacher) opinion. So if you like, email or PM me some stuff and I'll take a look.

I warn you, though, I'm a ruthless beta. If you're faint of heart, please decline. o.o lol Ask M. (I'm a homeschooler with no life and an interest in grammar and literature, so it's obvious I'm a nut.)

But yeah, don't let the "ruthless beta" thing scare you, I am a nice person (to the point it's almost disgusting).

Good luck with whatever these writing projects are for!

Ri, must you describe yourself so thoroughly, I mean, you probably scared this person away. And I totally agree, you are a nut. But a nice nut

Andrea, I know you have lots of people already to beta but i'd also be quite happy to read too. Mind you, I'm also a bit odd but i give useful feedback.

OOoh! I must admit I enjoy it when my work comes back to me in bits. I think perhaps there's a technical name for people who delight in red pen marks, but then again I may be the only one.

After I get things back from M and Ark I'll send them you're guys's (is that a word?) way. The more the merrier!!!

And, Wirra, I think I laughed at your icon for a whole five minutes straight.
