How do you find beta readers? Would you beta read yourself?
I don't do beta-reading, nor do I use beta-readers. I tried it once as everyone said that was the thing to do, but it didn't work for me - too many contradictory viewpoints, it was too hard to draw any conclusions from the feedback. The closest I come to beta-reading for others is proofreading my daughter's books, and she does the same for me, which involves some discussions too.
