Beta Reader Ready is a four-week guided experience that helps writers build a complete, repeatable system for beta-reading, from choosing readers to preparing for revision.

Each week moves you one stage forward in real time:

  • Week 1: Identify and vet readers who understand your genre and goals.
  • Week 2: Write a professional Beta Reader Brief that clarifies expectations.
  • Week 3: Send confident outreach messages and secure real commitments.
  • Week 4: Design your feedback-processing system so you’re ready the moment notes start coming in.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a vetted shortlist of readers, a polished brief, an outreach workflow, and a ready-to-use feedback plan. You’ll leave knowing exactly how to run your next beta round without burnout, guesswork, or chaos.

Best for: authors preparing a near-final draft for outside feedback or anyone who wants to make beta reading structured, strategic, and stress-free.
