About the PYA Beta Buddies Scheme
Promoting Yorkshire Authors (PYA) is launching a Beta Buddies scheme to enhance the quality of members' writing through peer review.
This initiative connects authors within a private Facebook group, fostering a collaborative environment for providing constructive criticism. Participation is voluntary, based on mutual trust, and requires reciprocal reviewing, with no monetary exchange permitted.
PYA offers two frameworks for guidance: an informal approach with open-ended questions and a clinical approach involving a detailed scoring system across different elements of writing.
While PYA facilitates the connection, authors are responsible for managing the review process and reporting any issues. The goal is to foster supportive relationships and elevate the overall standard of work within the PYA community, with the potential for removing members should the environment become hostile.
