    Need a patient beta-reader who knows tenses and English

    Hello. This is namesake, the member. I was hoping to share my work with a beta reader that is both a native language speaker and is fluent in english. You see I''m not sure my english is correct. It's just so that they can check the english and fix it and then I can post it here (in the critique forum).

    There are a few conditons that we must both complete when reviewing work. You have to accept the feedback I give you and we need to avoid disgreements. I'll relate one example of what happaned to me once. I had a beta-reader who couldn't stand the idea that I had criticism and was more or less attacking my work since he thought I simply told him I thought his own work needed to be more "marketable." I understand if there is a disagreement but I had done more work than needed and I still got no good reciprocation. I am very nice, and if you like to recieve advice or crtiticism from books that is what I will do. I promise there will be no stress. It is usually the other people that are the problem.

    Ok so a small requirement is needed (knowledge of tenses, and I need it to be explained to me somehow so that I can do it myself).

    Thank you for reading this. I came across hopefully, anyways post here or in a pm.

    One more thing before I end this post , I can critique novels, and short works. The work for review is 3600 words. This is what you will review. Once again, my thanks.

    Go ahead and post it my friend, I will see what I can do to help you with your story. I may not be completely perfect at English yet but nobody is.
