I'm just about ready to put my first few novellas up on Amazon.com over the course of the next few weeks, and while I'm happy enough with them, I know many writers use beta readers to keep them in check. I'd like to think I am a decent enough writer, but wouldn't we all? And I would like to make certain what I'm putting out isn't utter mulch.
So... how do I go about finding beta readers? Are there certain forums where I can advertise for such a thing? (Here, maybe?) I know there's a Share Your Work forum, and I'm happy with the critique the one post I've made there received, but I'm looking more for whole-work readers, rather than a few hundred words at a time.
What do you gentlefolk do for beta readers?
