Sometimes you just need a kind, intelligent, and knowledgeable person to read your book. 
You've spent so much time rewriting and revising, you don't know if you've made it
better or worse. 
Or 
You knew it was a good story when you started out, but now that the book is finished,
you're just not sure there's anything there. 

You can't ask your partner. The last time you did, it led to a fight. 
And your mother/father/sister/brother haven't even looked at the last story you gave them. 
Of course your friends have offered - they want to help; and they just might want to see if you've said anything about them. But it's probably not a good idea to ask them. 

That's when you need a pro. Someone who does this for a living. Someone who won't leave you discouraged and depressed. 

​I just started working with a new editorial services outfit called The Burnished Word. 
​I worked with them on three books and I came away very impressed. 

The best part is - they don't just do Beta Reading, they also offer Developmental Editing. 
If you need a new place to get editorial help, you really ought to check them out.
