A beta reader is a test reader of an unreleased work[1] of writing, typically literature, who gives feedback to the author from the point of view of an average reader.[2] This feedback can be used by the writer to fix remaining issues with plot, pacing, and consistency. The beta reader also serves as a sounding board to see if the work has the intended intellectual or emotional impact on the target market.
