I've finally gone through the beta reader feedback for my YA superhero book, Powerless! This was a nerve-wracking experience - I didn't know if my story was any good, or if I was just kidding myself when it came to my ambitions to be a writer.

However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my three beta readers and one editor loved the book! They also commented on some pretty big issues that I'd completely missed, and now I'm excited about getting back into writing and revising the book.

So here's a big thank you to my beta readers - Nicole Wilbur (youtube.com/channel/UC4SXLTkLn9Lla43dfmD70Hw), Kris, Sara (https://rightinkonthewall.com) and Sara (heartofthestory.com).
