Hello there!
What qualities should a good proofreader have and how can you recognize good proofreaders in your environment based on their behavior or something like that?
I mean, you shouldn't just have your very best friends as test readers, because sometimes they can be kindly dishonest and not give any real criticism.
What do you all mean?
Would be grateful for tips!

Loading...I'd like to choose a film adaptation of a literary work, or something generally related to older books. Possible examples would be: Harry Potter 1 The Alchemist The perfume Can you think of a theme for one of these works?
At school, there's a challenge period. During this time (three weeks or less), you can complete a challenge. For example, riding a bike, making your own film, writing a book, etc. I wanted to write my own book in three weeks. You have six months to plan everything beforehand. So far, I've written two pages…
It's about triplets: Belle Founurtois, Joséphine Founurtois and Renée Founurtois. Belle (actually Isabelle, but we always call her Belle) and Joséphine are identical twins. They both have musical talent, with Belle having a beautiful voice and loving to sing and dance. Joséphine, on the other hand, has been mute since birth but can play several…

I've been thinking about writing a Harry Potter fanfiction for a while, but I can't decide between two ideas. Both will be about Sirius and he'll be dating an OC. Idea 1: Sirius has survived the war and starts working as a teacher at Hogwarts. There he meets a student, my OC. She is plagued…
You should
– Experience in reading tests and giving reviews
– agree with the genre
– Bring time
– write yourself
– to be comprehensively briefed
That’s why it’s extremely difficult to find someone. Even in most “writing”forens there are hardly (yet) people who are decent test reading. Exception maybe feather tufts, but you also have to actively cooperate. In most others you can only see requests, requests, requests …
You have to write, read and have a sense of what sounds good. You need to ask questions that are open and do not fear to give criticism. You must be kind and understand the subject. You should not take anyone completely strange, but also not the best friend. He must have time and support you where he can so that the final result will be great. For example, I called one of the Elias. He didn’t understand WaCa, but let me explain everything and our result has become great. He’s ruthless, and he’s taking things up fast.
I wouldn’t do it without him. I’m testing his stories.
I hope I could help you

A real test reader should be honest, give real criticism. In my opinion, I would also like to make proposals for improvement.
