And it's more of a finished copy. You know, maybe there's like some grammatical errors or things like that because it isn't entirely edited. Sure. But when the book is in beta reads, it still is very much a work in progress. You could read a

In the final. Is it possible, and maybe you don't know, maybe you do, if you are in the beta process and then they decide not to publish it at all?

Not to publish the book at all? Yeah. It's pretty rare I think that that happens. That would be pretty rare because typically, at least for my process with my publisher, I don't even write anything until I've gone over the entire concept with my editor and she's 100% on board, signed on, likes where I'm going with it.

Um, and then once I've written a first draft, she gets the first draft and then reads it. Um, you know, and then if she wants changes, I change it. You know what I mean? So there's a lot of back and forth. Like when I say I write a book and I can write a book in two and a half months, um, that's just a first draft, right? There is many, many layers of edits that it goes through.

Many layers of beta reads and advisory reads that I put my book through and sensitivity reads that I put my book through. And often even the arcs, when the arcs go out, they haven't even completely gone through those.

Like the sensitivity read is the very last thing that I put my books through because I want my sensitivity reader to read every single change that the book is going through to tell me if I need to change anything else. And when you say sensitivity read, what does that mean for the listeners? Um, sensitivity reader will go through and flag things that maybe are outside of your normal experience.

So you don't realize that it might be offensive or you don't realize that, you know, you might've said something that might rub people the wrong way. So I have a really great sensitivity reader that I use on all of my books and she will read, like I said, the very last round of edits. Like when,

Like right before we're probably going to proofreading is when I will send it to her because I don't want there to be any additional changes that she has not laid her eyes on. And it's not a foolproof system.
