I would love to be your beta reader. What aspect do you want me to focus on as I read?

A scene can be well-written and still not belong in the story. If a scene doesn’t change something an emotion, a decision, a relationship, the stakes ask yourself: What would the story lose if I cut it? Authors, do you ever find yourself defending a scene you secretly know needs to go? #booksky

That “had in my head for a long time” part always makes me curious. What finally pushed you to get this story onto the page?

Are you on the lookout for more betas?

I would love to be your beta reader if you're still looking. What inspired you to write this story?

Congratulations on finishing your draft. What is your book in?

You're writing in one of my favorite genres. What really inspired you to write this story?

Crocheting sounds like a nice little reset! What genre is your book in?

saintpen @saint-pen.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

That’s such a horror writer answer. Protecting your peace I respect it. I’ll just have to keep bothering you in the comments then… unless Witherleigh claims you first.

Just a fresh set of eyes to see how the opening hooks hold up before January!

Love that attitude, better safe than sorry is so true, especially with serials where the first few chapters need to pull people in right away. If you're open to it, I’d love to take a look at your first chapter or two and send over a quick sample beta pass.

Congrats! Taking the self-pub route with a fully polished book is such a great feeling, and serializing on Ko-Fi in Jan sounds like a fun strategy to build an audience. Since it's already been through the wringer editing-wise, are you looking for one last pair of eyes to check pacing?

What stage is your manuscript?

saintpen @saint-pen.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Hey! I followed you back. I tried to DM you, but it looks like your DMs are turned off or restricted. So I couldn't send a message. You might want to check your DM settings, or just send me a DM instead, and I'll reply there.

saintpen @saint-pen.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

P.J. Due to your profile settings, I can't send you a direct message. Can you fix that on your end?

saintpen @saint-pen.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Ooh, now I’m really curious about the why. I love when a story slowly uncovers the reason behind all the strange things happening. You’ll have to follow me back so we can continue this conversation in the DMs, though; we’ve basically turned your post into our own little chat.

saintpen @saint-pen.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

You have a valid point here. Feedback should be constructive and actionable, showing what's working and what needs fixing. What genre are you writing in? I'd love to know more about your story.

That’s such a cool beta reader win! Fanart from someone who read your story has to feel extra special! Are you still on the lookout for more feedback?

Do you have anyone giving you feedback as you write?

So it’s basically a “your sense of humour will determine if you survive” kind of book. I actually like dark humour when it’s done well. What made you want to take the sequel in an even darker direction?

What’s the planning tool or trick from this series that finally made the routine click for you?

Building a sustainable system is half the battle; getting it out of your head onto paper without burnout is pure skill. As an editor, I see so many writers rush to draft before finding a workflow that actually fits their brain.

Okay, now you’ve got my attention. Dark horror with darker humour is a pretty fun combination. I’m guessing some of those “true behaviours” are going to make the characters even more interesting. Is there one character in particular who gets really dark in this one?

saintpen @saint-pen.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Haha, the people? Now I’m curious! Are they becoming stranger, or are we just seeing a different side of them this time?

100

A broken foot and a creepy village sounds like quite the combination. What’s getting stranger in Witherleigh this time?

How is the beta reading process going? Are you open to more constructive feedback?

88k?! You’re so close now!! 12k to go and that 100k is basically waving at you. Go enjoy those kittehs—you’ve earned it! What’s been the biggest push for you getting so many words down today?

That’s such a huge revision journey! Four months for the draft and nine months getting it beta-ready is no small feat. What was the biggest thing you found yourself changing during those revisions?

000

Congratulations on getting this far! I would love to give that magic touch. What genre are you writing in?

100

Give yourself huge credit for that shift; deconstructing self-sabotage is no joke! 'Failure is only when I don't try' is the ultimate writer's mantra. Now that you've got that clarity locked in, what's the scene or chapter you're tackling next?

saintpen @saint-pen.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Early access to books changes everything; it's wild seeing how many seniors slip through the cracks. As an editor, I notice how much those early reading habits shape narrative instincts later on. Day 38! What’s the biggest lesson this draft has taught you so far?

Wow, congratulations!! Did your draft go through beta reading?

000

Kindly follow back. I'd love to talk more about your writing.

000

Yeah, honestly I like that approach. Sometimes the questions a reader has can tell you a lot about where the story is pulling them in or losing them. What’s the part of the story you’re most curious to see readers react to?

100

Spam you? What are you talking about?

000

Honestly, I’d love to be one of your beta readers when you’re ready. What kind of feedback do you usually want your beta readers to focus on most when they read?
