Hi all I’m in the process of trying to write my first book. I was wondering if you get people to read as you go? Obviously being my first I’ve no idea if it’s any good not. Suggestions or advice?

Hi Jason, I am currently training as a professional Beta Reader. I'm quite busy at the moment but later down the line if you're interested, I can be of service to you. Feel free to connect with me if you'd like to know more/ask questions.
Congrats on starting your first book!!
Hi, Jason.
How are you going to explain the past? I hope by using a scene, or scenes involving existing characters. If, however, you intend to introduce new, rounded-characters then they will need fleshing out. You need to introduce and define them to the reader to bring them to life. For example: what are the functions of these newly introduced characters. What roles do they play in your novel? Are they minor players, flat-characters, or well-rounded - main characters?
I hope that helps.
Good luck.
Hi Jason. Well done on beginning your story. The way most people work is probably posting several paragraphs at a time, usually they will get read and then someone will comment on them. Then you could post a few more etc. If it's a short story or poem they are usually posted in full. It's up to you how much you post. If you get stuck with something or not sure how to do something then you will always get help and advice from other writers on this 'ask a question' page. Hope this helps. Keep going.
