Ok, so you want to be a beta-reader. First things first...why should writers choose YOU? So, basically, just fill out this nifty little form I've created.
///////////////////////
Genre: Put here what genre you are willing to beta.
Story Length: Put here how long of stories you are willing to
beta. Aka, one-shots? Chaptered? Drabbles? 'Tis your call.
Fandoms (if applicable): What fandoms are you familiar enough with that you could beta a story from them?
Rating: How high do you go? Aka, K, K+, T, or M.
Talents: What are you especially good at? Aka, spelling, grammar, etc. etc.
Time: Do you have absolutely no life? Or are you a social butterfly with no time to spare? Be sure to mention how much time you can devote to editing.
Experience: Have you betaed before? Were you the top of your english class in school? Etc. etc.
Other details: Put anything else you want potential employers to know about you. DON'T put a life biography, though, please. That might get kinda boring.
------------
Yes, that's it. Now if you delete a section or two from the form when you post it, either because you're two lazy to answer the question or you don't know how to, no one's going to jump on you. Just be forewarned, however, that potential employers may ask you those before they hire you.
