18 & Over Book Blogger Follow is a weekly feature that runs over the weekend, hosted by Crystal from one of my favourite blog sites, Reading Between the Wines.
Question of the Week: If you could beta read for any author who would it be and why?
Well, I guess I already do beta for a number of authors, since I’m an editor at a small publishing house.
I really liked Crystal’s choices of J.R. Ward and Olivia Cunning 😉 but the one “big” author I would like to offer my services to would have to be Jaci Burton. I was hugely disappointed in the number of errors and inconsistencies in The Perfect Play, and it made me not want to read the rest of the series, even though a lot of people rave about them.
Being Jaci’s beta might also mean I’d get the chance to meet those cover models… it’d be a sacrifice but someone’s gotta do it!
What about you? Who would you like to beta for? Leave a comment below or link up HERE to follow the meme.

It’s been so long since I read that book I honestly can’t remember being tripped up by any blips in the story. But a chance at her cover models would be a fabulous perk of the job. I’m right there with ya on that 🙂 She has some of the best covers. Love em!

Oh, hell yeah. Love Jaci’s books. I am now reading Playing To Win….YUMMY! Great answer.

Wow, I had and still do on occasion, toy with the idea of becoming an editor myself but I’m so intimidated sometimes it’s not even funny. I’ve heard a lot of great things about Jaci Burton’s books, I’m not one for athlete heroes (or athletes in general) but from the excerpts I’ve read I think I may enjoy her books a lot.

She really does have some of the best cover models! I haven’t read her books yet but I’ve been meaning too! New follower

LoL I agree! I was just reading her latest and noticed the same thing. I beta read for another author and now little errors seem to pop out at me everywhere so I know what you mean. But I think if I had the chance to meet one of Jaci’s cover models it might all be worth it! Great pick and thanks for joining in the follow!
