Interview by Carla King with Pam Burleson from Beta Books.

Subjects covered

Beta readers are readers who provide feedback on a work in progress.

Beta Books co-founder Pam Burleson discussed the advantages of having beta readers and how Beta Books helps connect writers with them.

Pam also explained why beta readers can be helpful, a primary reason being because it enables an author to know whether or not their book is a good fit and works for their intended audience.

Using a platform such as Beta Books can also help authors with platform building, i.e., developing relationships with readers.

Pam noted that using beta readers can be helpful for traditionally published and indie authors alike.
