SHADE OWENS
BETA Reader Application
Thanks so much for finding your way to this page and for your interest in joining my beta team.
What is a beta reader, anyway?
Beta readers will get early access to my upcoming manuscripts in their raw, unedited form—before they've been professionally edited or released to the public. I'm looking for honest feedback on things like pacing, characters, plot twists, confusing sections, and overall enjoyment.
You don't need to be an editor—just a reader who enjoys sharing their thoughts.
If you're a fan of my work and want to be part of the earliest stage possible, beta reading gives you a chance to read the story before anyone else does, and help influence the final book.
Lastly, this team will be fairly small, maybe up to 5-10 readers, so I will only be able to accept a handful of applications received.
Thank you in advance!
