In the concluding episode of this foundational series, Alexandria tackles the essential and often intimidating step of sharing your work. "The Brave Leap" is a practical guide to finding and utilizing your first readers, or beta readers. Learn who makes an ideal reader (and who doesn't), how to professionally ask for feedback with specific, targeted questions, and why you must give yourself 24 hours before reacting to criticism. This episode provides the tools to navigate the feedback process, helping you identify actionable patterns while maintaining your authorial vision, and transforming your polished draft into a truly great story.
