Welcome, Beta Readers of Perception and Deception 4! Let the fun begin!



The team has officially been selected, and I’m super excited and honored that you’re sharing this journey with me!  I received more beta requests for this book than any other in the past, so it’s clear that the Perception and Deception fandom has grown exponentially. Following are all the details you’ll need:

What is a Beta Reader?

A beta reader is someone who will read a book before it is published to watch for errors or inconsistencies that could negatively impact the reading experience.  This book has already been professionally edited multiple times, so I’m hoping there aren’t any errors, and that it will be enjoyable for you.  However, if you see something wrong, please let me know.  I’m open to any and all feedback.  


Participation Prizes and Goodies!


If you’ve been a part of my beta teams in the past, you know I love giving out prizes!  All participants who post a review on Amazon / Goodreads will receive the following prizes: 


  • One free coupon to any of my normally paid creative services.  Services include writing, creating original music backing tracks, website design, high-end online resumes to impress your employers, and any help with author related issues.  You can redeem by emailing me the service you want completed!  Here is a full menu:  https://andreahintz.wixsite.com/andreahintz/work-8

  • If you or someone you know is an aspiring author, you can have a free 30-60 minute phone conversation with me so I can tell you all about the book publishing process and answer any other related questions you might have.

  • If you are an existing author, you can opt to have your book featured on my blog in addition to the above prizes. 

  • Want some grander prizes? Read on…

***BONUS COMPETITION – Win a $25 Giftcard / Perception and Deception Gear!***


Perception and Deception has officially been picked up by Netflix to be adapted into a series! (Not really, but I had your heart going there for a second, didn’t I?). You are my production crew, and our goal is to make this series the best there is on Netflix.

  • Casting Directors: Send me the names of actors who you think would portray these characters best!  Characters can be from book 4, or previous Perception and Deception books. Actors do not need to look exactly the same as they’re described in the book. We are capturing an essence and great talent.

  • Music Directors: Send me songs you think would be fitting for the series. If you want to indicate which scene in particular it would be played in, please do.

  • Location Manager: Send me the names of towns you think would fit the settings of any of the books.

A poll will be posted on my website where my fan base (as well as you guys) will vote on the best picks! Whoever gets the most votes overall will win prizes, so definitely encourage your friends to participate and help you out! Answers can be submitted to me now through December 4th.

  • 1st Place - $25 Amazon giftcard and an “Interviews With Readers!” spotlight on my blog where you will be named Andrea’s Top Movie Director of the Year (a high honor that everybody knows about! Trust me!!! lol).

  • 2nd Place - A T-Shirt from my merchandise store 

  • 3rd Place - A paperback copy of Perception and Deception 4 after it’s released. If you live outside the USA, you will receive an Amazon gift card in place of this.

Where Will I Post My Feedback and Review?

Typos, grammatical errors, and any other inconsistencies should be sent to me before publication.  After publication, part of being on the beta reading team will include posting a review within 1-2 days of the book’s launch day on Amazon / Goodreads.  This will give the book a great boost so that it’s more visible to new readers.  I will email you the links on release day.  The book will hopefully be released close to December 4th, 2020.  

When Is the Deadline?

You will be receiving the book via email sometime near the end of next week.  At that time, the deadline to finish reading the book would be roughly December 4th (so two weeks to read).  Would that be enough time for you?  If you don’t think you will be able to finish the book in that amount of time, just shoot me a quick email, and we can work it out!  I’m flexible. 

Again, I’m super excited about you being one of my very first readers of this book and can’t wait for your honest feedback!  Thank you so much for participating!  God bless!
