Episode 77: Let's talk about feedback and beta readers

Notes:

The Verbivore references the Critical Response Process created by dance professor Liz Lerman from ASU as a method to use when receiving feedback in any type of creative project. This method was touched on briefly in Episode 37: Pixar Storytelling Part 1.

Fable references the Author Answers response from writer Erica Wynters where she talks about needing cheerleader feedback at a specific time in her writing process. That episode is Episode 36: Author Answers with Erica Wynters.

The Verbivore references the open door writing process of author Victoria McCombs who we spoke to in Episode 39.

After this episode was recorded, Fable and the Verbivore came across the BAP method for identifying the level of feedback you want from your beta readers, as explained by book coach Ann Kroeker. We wish that we’d had this information to include as part of the discussion. We’ll be discussing it during our interview with Ann in early April, but here is the link to this information on her website:
