Today’s episode is a recorded beta reader debrief with Julianne Roan. I had several such conversations before publishing Forerunner, but you get to watch this one.
Beta reading is where an author lets several readers read a book ahead of its publication, so feedback can be gaged and wrinkles can be ironed out. You’ll get to hear what Julianne thought was less than ideal with the manuscript, and we talk about what to do about some of the issues.
*SPOILER ALERT* – this conversation will reveal some spoilers about book 1, and possibly, though mostly less specifically, about the series moving forward. However, for any part of the Nightshade Unicorn saga not yet published, I reserve the right to change it at will. If you wish to avoid spoilers, then just listen to the announcements section, and we’ll see you next week.
You have been warned. 🙂
Merry Christmas!
