Description
In this interactive workshop, we deal with the importance of trust and teamwork involved in making the beta/author relationship a successful one. The panel of writers and betas will share a few personal stories about their successes and struggles from both sides of the fence, as well as lead the audience through some fun activities that will hopefully entertain and inform everyone from the first-time writer to the most seasoned author or editor. Join Dacro, Saladbats, RurouniHime, Coffeejunkii and Fire Elemental as they explore the many different types of betas/editors found in fandom and in the world of professional writing, general and technical terms a writer may encounter when they receive their work back from their beta, and how to both give and process constructive criticism.
