Barbara was my first beta reader. I posted on Goodreads (my very first) and she responded almost immediately. She’s always given me excellent feedback and even acted as alpha reader for DoaCK‘s 2, 3 and short stories.
Barbara is German and does German to English translations professionally. She proofed my first 50 pages when I cheekily submitted to Tor/Forge, without realizing how raw and unread my story was (she did point this out, but I was counting on the publisher cleaning things up; they will, but it’s best if your work is nearly spotless when you’re a debut author). I highly recommend her.
