Draft beta readers form/spreadsheet
Here is a draft of this year's form to offer to beta-read.
Here is what the resulting spreadsheet looks like.
New this year: split up areas of expertise into four sections. I'm not sure that there's enough demand for a separate "genres" section, honestly, but it does seem conceptually separate? I based these sections off what people tend to offer in the past; I realize that they are intrinsically arbitrary and have encouraged people to multi-list things.
Please give it a look, submit some test data if you like to see if notifications work properly, etc.?
Thanks!

I am not sure I would find the multiple expertise tabs helpful. I know I would not use the genre tab. I'm also not sure I follow the logic between separating out 'study and work' and 'everything else', or it would need more explanation of what goes where for me to feel confident about it. Practically, I think this would simply mean searching for a term on one tab (study/work) and then doing the same search on another tab (everything else).
The place expertise tab seems useful to separate out. Thumbs up there. So maybe a "place" and an "everything else" division?
For places, I wonder if you might also consider encouraging people to specify eras. Ie: "USA - 1970s-present" or "Spain - modern" or "England - 1500s-1600s especially" are helpful when one is specifically looking for a modern or a historical frame of reference.
