rabbitprincess Ahaha horribly wrong font 😂😂😂 I am in the habit of adding comments to my edits, sometimes addressing them to my future self. “Future RP check the abbreviations again.” Less helpful are the ones where I wrote “Hmmmmm” several days before and can‘t figure out why 😂😂 5y

GingerAntics @rabbitprincess oh my god, I‘ve done that. If I edit on my iPad I can actually “write” on the draft. Then I circle stuff and I can‘t remember why later. 🤣😂🤣 So glad its not just me. 5y

CALLING ALL LITTENS!!!!

My dear friend and fellow Indie author, Suzy, has just finished her debut novel and was looking for a couple of beta readers to help her out. Her novel, Somebody To You, is a sassy British romance tale and although I‘m biased I think it‘s great. Would anyone be willing to read it in its raw form and give her some honest feedback?

Smrloomis Hmm, I‘d volunteer but I don‘t read #romance so I‘d probably not be very helpful. But there are lots of people I follow who post about romance so hopefully you‘ll get some volunteers. Besides being British is there anything else to categorize it? Like M/M or historical or something? Just thinking off the top of my head 😂 5y

Martyn_J_Pass @Smrloomis I know what you mean - it‘s not my normal read either, hence the call for help lol. I‘m ashamed to say I don‘t know what category M/M is 😂 It‘s contemporary romance, woman falls for man etc... 5y

Smrloomis @Martyn_J_Pass I hear you. Everything I know I learned from Litsy! Apparently M/M is for a male couple, but that‘s all I know. Hopefully someone with more expertise will be willing to help 🤞🏽 5y

Reggie I would love to, just tell me what I need to do. 5y

Martyn_J_Pass @OwlReader @Reggie Can I email you Suzy‘s PDF then? If you send me an address I‘ll pass it on and she‘ll send you the file. 5y

Reggie Sure, it‘s reglara79@yahoo.com 5y

Martyn_J_Pass @Reggie Should be on its way to you now. I‘ve sent my copy now that I‘ve finished going over the spelling etc. I‘ve probable missed a few lol 5y

Martyn_J_Pass @OwlReader It‘s on its way to you! Thanks again! 5y

OwlReader @Reggie Thank you! I hope you don‘t mind if I delete the comment, I just don‘t want other people to email me.. 😥 5y

Martyn_J_Pass @OwlReader Not at all!! I don‘t blame you, I‘d do the same lol 5y

OwlReader @Martyn_J_Pass Ok, thanks for understanding! I‘ll comment as soon as lm done with the book. 5y

A short, fun, and informative book. Even as a writer, not an editor, I still found this book helpful and interesting. And she maintains a light, funny tone that makes it a pretty easy read.
