It is all very well to finish writing your first book, to check it and then recheck it. Then leave it for a while, then check and recheck... etc. But so many of the author websites out there remind us that we also need to find beta-readers. People who like the genre and read lots of books in it, so understand what works and what doesn't.
I have found it hard to find the right beta readers - writing is such a personal thing for me and it is hard to let it go. But I have done it and finally sent one of my books to a friend who has said she is interested. :-) Now I just need to find some more. Joanna Penn recommends 6-8 beta readers!
