Writing Terms Explained Part 2

 


Hello Readers! 

I decided to go ahead and do a Part 2 of different writing terms! 

Let's dive in, shall we? 



Alpha Reader: Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. An Alpha reader is the first person who gets to read your book after you've written it.


Beta Reader: A Beta Reader is like an editor, but not. A beta reader would be the person you give your book to after it's had some preliminary edits. They look for things like plot, character arcs, and general grammar. (The readers are human, not fish.) 



Novel: A work of fiction that is at least 50,000 words in length. 



Novella: Shorter than a novel, longer than a Novelette. (You're welcome 😉)



Novelette: A short and sweet novel. 

I'm sure you all can tell that I am wonderful at defining things 😂. But hey, I tried. 

Hope y'all have a lovely week! 

Blessings,

Mattie May
