Ever wondered how do non-native
English speakers get away with good grammar and spelling? Well here's
your answer: beta-readers!
A small definition by wikipedia:
"A beta reader (or betareader, or beta)
is a person who reads a work of fiction with a critical
eye, with the aim of improving grammar, spelling,
characterization, and general style of a story prior to
its release to the general public."
So, here's a list of beta-reader
sites. Don't forget that your average fan fiction archive can have
beta-readers of is own! So take advantage of that!
The Beta reader
directory for Harry Potter fanfiction. Probably the best
site for your beta-reading needs. You don't need to register
the site, andbesides that you can look for a beta for the
exact type of your storie, and what type of correction or
advices you want from her/him!
The only
inconvenience about livejournal is that you have to register
the site to post on the beta-readers communities. I'm not
going to explain how livejournal works here. If you already
know then go to the sidebar at the right and search for
"beta" interests. You will find nearly 200 communities who
have an handful of people willing to improve your fics.
