Beta Read Sign Ups (Win a free copy of The Silver Ninja)

beta signups

So, crap! I had written a blog at work that was edited and ready to go but I guess it didn’t save to my gmail drive. Dang it! Well that’s okay, because today’s blog is going to be short. I know the review of Watchmen is pending but I want to make sure I do the book justice before I post about it. Instead, let’s talk about The Silver Ninja 2.0 and how you can win a free, signed copy of the book.

The Silver Ninja Beta Read is open via Goodreads and this is one of the avenues you will have to win a free copy of the book. Those who want to be surprised by the book and don’t want spoilers need not sign up. For the rest of you . . .

Here’s how it works.

WHAT IS A BETA READ?

A beta read is a first look at a book that is a work in progress. The book will generally have a plot that is readable from start to finish but the prose may be rough and the typos abundant. It is one of the few opportunities a reader will have to influence how the final book is edited. This means that your feedback will help shape and mold the book into a fun and entertaining read.

HOW DO I GET A FREE BOOK?

If you want a free copy of the book, create a FREE account on Goodreads and join my group: The Silver Ninja Beta Read group

Once that’s done you will receive status updates of the book informing you of when the beta read will commence. The group will be locked and then you will receive a password protected download link to participate.

In order to gain a free, signed copy of the book you must be active in group discussions. Was a scene boring? Did you hate the characters? Did the plot not resonate with you? The more you participate, the higher the chance you will receive a free book regardless of where you’re located.

Super active members of the group who also share the book with friends and try to spread the word may earn their way into a cameo. You could be a character from Cindy’s past or a civilian she saves, who knows?

DOES IT COST ME ANYTHING?

No, the only thing this beta read will cost is time. I want this book to be fun, engaging, and thought-provoking. If you guys like it, then there’s a high chance other people will too.

WHEN DOES THE BETA READ START?

Soon. I’m still working on finishing the last chapter, an epilogue, and then I need to do a preliminary self edit pass and will be shopping around for editors while you guys and gals read. However, I am posting weekly status updates on the progress of the book and those will let you know when the beta will start.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE BETA READ BEGINS?

The group will be locked and no one else will be allowed to sign up. If you decide to wait until the last minute to join, you may regret that decision because the gates will be closed. I don’t want opportunistic thieves jumping in to steal my work before it’s finished.

Well that’s all I have for today’s blog. Please sign up at the link provided so that I could hopefully entertain you with an action adventure book that will blow your mind.

If you haven’t signed up already, shame on you! The Silver Ninja Beta Read group
