BETA READERS: What they are and how to find them (plus a rant about TikTok lol)

Giving my book to beta readers is an extremely important part of my writing process, and a step I will not skip when writing a book. The feedback I get from beta readers informs my book more than anything else, and I HIGHLY recommend taking the time to find readers and going through this process.

DISCLAIMER: The tips I give in this video come only from my personal experience. I write paranormal thrillers, so my experience marketing on social media will be very different from someone who writes in a different genre. My experience may not necessarily be yours, so I encourage you to try every avenue possible to get your book and writing out there and figure out what works best for you.

I lied. The name of the group I mentioned in this video actually does exist.

ABOUT: Hi, I'm Claire! I’m an award-winning self-published author of paranormal thriller books (my book "They Stay" won the Grand Prize at the 2023 Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards and is the first in a five-book series).

There is no one way to write a book. I’m a strong believer that the only way to develop your own writing process is by trying a bunch of different methods to find out what is the most helpful to you. In my videos, I share how I approach every stage in my writing process, from brainstorming to editing, in the hope that it could give you something to try that could help you level up as a writer. I share techniques that have improved my own writing so you can see if the same strategies help you.
