Hi #writingcommunity, I’m curious… what’s your beta experience like? How many beta rounds do you typically do? How do you filter feedback? What questions do you always ask readers?
Into Lost Territory is out with beta readers (again), so I’m pacing the carpet (again). This will be round three. I queried a few agents after round 2, didn’t get any fulls (but some light feedback), so I’ve done some reworking. Now back to beta…

« If you look at the history of social platforms, you see that they're not often replaced by platforms that look or function a lot like what came before: Facebook, for example, is very different from Myspace, which is different from TikTok. The next big social network will look different from all of those. »
