On one site, the download doesn't work (whew) and the other says it's available soon. Gave me chills. I wrote both sites and told them our book is NOT free and to contact me immediately. Haven't heard from either of them yet. But it's disturbing. We didn't put all those hours and hours of work into our book to give it away. Like many authors, we simply can't afford to give away our book.Wodke Hawkinsonhttp://findagoodbooktoread.com/books-by-wodke-hawkinson.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919894200039153342.post-15326559156792802592011-05-18T07:43:20.231-07:002011-05-18T07:43:20.231-07:00Yay!

Glad everyone is getting good information from this! <br /><br />Meaghan - You can pre-resgister your work if you are really worried about your beta readers. The cost is around $130 I think to do that. Check with the Copyright website for exact figures, but that will protect your work before it is published. <br /><br />As for how to choose a good Beta reader, I suggest trying to find people you already know a bit about rather than complete strangers. There should be some communication beforehand. <br /><br />Good luck!Katie Salidashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15159923761047042193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919894200039153342.post-58265380488513523782011-05-18T06:16:41.940-07:002011-05-18T06:16:41.940-07:00Great post!

I don't know anyone personally who I want to ask to be an early reader, and I am anxious about handing my baby MS over to a complete internet stranger, even if they seem to have a reputable following online. Any advice on that? It would be much appreciated...Meaghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197729771455348880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919894200039153342.post-71969286579650387532011-05-17T10:44:01.660-07:002011-05-17T10:44:01.660-07:00Thanks for stopping by and reading.
