Thanks, Elizabeth, for these great links. I know I've said it several times, but I honestly do learn every time I'm here. I was glad to see the 'Tips From a Beta Reader' article. Beta readers often have a lot of insight, so they're great resources. And it's good to know some ways to get a manuscript ready for those folks.
It’s always nice to make things as easy as possible for betas, for sure!
