Critique or criticism? Don’t get destroyed by beta reader feedback

As a writing coach, Karena Akhavein says that the majority of her clients come to her because they were devastated by negative feedback from editors or beta readers. This is why this week's How to be an Author podcast episode is all about working with beta readers and how to keep their comments or lack thereof from driving you crazy or breaking you down. You'll learn how to choose beta readers, what to expect and not to expect from them, and how to make sure they improve your book without detsroying your mindset.
