They pushed me into getting published in the first place after they read the first two. I put them on the dedication page of the books, too. I do acquisition reading for a publisher and have had the opportunity to read some outstanding work. Thanks for sharing this post. I truly enjoyed it.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />JGJenaGalifanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03870378425016427004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-33045464752327286692012-04-20T12:14:46.607-04:002012-04-20T12:14:46.607-04:00Great post, Laura, and so timely!

Sarah has agreed to read the first three chapters of my contemporary, but then I'm thinking of asking my romance-reading sister if she's be willing to be a beta reader.Alison Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725250883303287946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-68119088200438406792012-04-20T11:05:47.998-04:002012-04-20T11:05:47.998-04:00Hi Jannine, when your beta reader is an author, yo...Hi Jannine, when your beta reader is an author, you're getting a little extra in the form of more complex writing assesment.
