Things a BETA reader looks for

Protagonist(s)

Likeable? Actions consistent with motivations? Motivations logical?

Antagonist

Appropriate level of menacing? Actions consistent with motivations? Motivations logical? Was the identity a surprise?

Secondaries

Do they advance the plot? Do they steal the show?

General Character Questions

Who was your favorite and why? Who was your least favorite and why? Could any characters be combined or deleted?

Plot

Hook

Did it come fast enough? Did it capture your interest?

True Beginning

Did the story start at the right place? Did it start with the right person? Was there too much or too little backstory?

Pacing

Are the actions fast-paced? Are the expositions slower? Is there a proper ratio between the two, or is it heavy on action or description? For every scene (proactive: goal, conflict, disaster) is there an appropriate sequel (responsive: reaction, dilemma, decision)? Is there any place you found yourself skimming out of boredom? Is there any place you wished to slow down for more clarity?

Logic

Actions consistent with motivations? Motivations logical? Are there any loose ends?

Setting

Is the story’s era established early enough? Is the locale made clear? Is the reader grounded in each scene, or are some unexplored (white room syndrome)?

Voice

Characters

Does each character have a distinct voice? Does anyone say or think something out of character at any point? Is the dialogue at any point unclear or unrealistic?

Deep POV

Are there any cases of author intrusion, or does every scene stay in the POV character’s head? Is there any head-hopping?

Emotional Response

Does any situation stand out as particularly: Funny, Sad, Pulse-Racing, How did you feel after you finished the book? Did you at any part feel like your reaction didn’t match the author’s intention? If so, when?

Mechanics

Any serious problems with: typos, misspellings, grammatical errors, punctuation

We ask that ARC readers, along with BETA readers, send us any errors they find within the book. This helps Anna publish the most error free book possible.
