It’s been months in the making, but I finally sent my first draft to beta readers. In this video, I’m sharing what it’s like sending your novel to beta readers for the first time—along with all the nerves, doubts, and “what have I done” moments that come with it. If you’re a writer working on your first draft or getting ready for feedback, you’re not alone in feeling this way.

I talk about…

  • how I prepared my manuscript for beta readers
  • what I included when I sent it out
  • what I’m hoping to learn from my beta readers
  • my fears about getting feedback on my first draft
