What is a beta reader?

A beta reader is someone who gets to test-read a book before it is released to the general public.  They give valuable feedback to the author.

What do members of the Travis Tribe do?

  • Test read Anna's books
  • Provide feedback to Anna (you will be given specifics to look for; you don't have to fix things!)
  • Post an honest review on Amazon.com (you can also post on goodreads.com if you are a member)
  • Share with others (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Goodreads, etc.)

How can you become a part of the Travis Tribe?

I consider Tribe members to be my friends!  The people who join my Tribe usually do (or have done)  two or more of the following:
  • Sign up for the Fiction Only Newsletter (these emails are few and far between: finished books, need for beta readers, etc. I. Hate. Spam.)
  • Posted reviews for Anna's previous books.  This shows that you are actually wanting to provide feedback. :)

Do Tribe members have to beta read everything?

No!  When a book is ready for beta reading, I send out an email to my Tribe.  Only those interested need to reply.  There is one catch though: if you sign up to beta read a book, I am counting on you to do your part! People who do not follow through will not receive another invite to beta read.
