Matching Authors with Suitable Sensitivity Readers

“As I kid I was like, I would love to get paid to read.” - Julie Taylor

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down to chat with Julie Taylor, Chief Operating Officer at The Spun Yarn - a company that offers paid beta reading and sensitivity reading services to authors. Here’s a preview of what’s included:

[06:15] How does The Spun Yarn create a perfect matching system between its authors and its beta readers?

[15:37] When would an author need this type of service? How is it different than working with an editor?

[31:14] The beta-readers-questioning-method and thinking process.

[47:28] Making changes throughout the years thanks to feedback given by both authors and beta readers.
