The Beta Reading Department, in collaboration with the Events Department at the Young Writers Initiative has created an exciting new event for you all! Usually, non-volunteer clients can only get to meet with beta readers through email, but with this opportunity, you would be able to meet with potential beta readers who would get to read your work, and meet some other young writers yourself!
What is it?
The Beta Readers x Client Extravaganza is a virtual meeting where clients can pitch the premise of their novel to our beta readers, who will then have the opportunity to read their work afterwards. You would give the blurb for your manuscript, talk about its premise and why you think beta readers would enjoy it! Give your favourite moment from your novel or something that inspired you to write it. Spark conversation with the betas! This is an opportunity to promote your work so make sure you really sell it!
How do I apply?
Simple! Fill out the google form down below and give your available times. For now, our tentative date is April 17th at 3:30pm.
Rules:
***Please note that this isn't a guarantee to get sign ups for your novel. At the end of the day, it’s ultimately up to the beta reader to sign up for the novel or not, but we still implore you to sign up for the event! It will be fun, interactive and you’ll get the chance to meet other writers!***
Email jaidah@tywi.org or harsha@tywi.org for any questions you have.
