This is a great article by Bronwen Evans about how to choose a beta
reader. She gives tips for how to find good readers as well as a list
of questions to ask them to consider when reviewing a manuscript. I was
lucky to have one thoughtful beta reading for the book I submitted.
I'd love to have a few more when I finish the next one. Here is Romance University's article.

And what was one doing in Hollywood? Maybe he was an extra on something shooting nearby. If not, shouldn’t he be in Montana roping steer or something? Sweat pooled in her armpits from running to work. She glanced at her reflection in the dark paneled door. Her hair was thrown up in a messy crow’s nest of a bun. And her uniform did her no favors. Pleated beige polyester pants and a loose green polo shirt would make anyone look dowdy. The cowboy extended his hand. “Ma’am, I’m here for the ten o’ clock movie studio tour.”
