  2. Does the story need to be beta-read?

    Most definitely. There isn't an author anywhere whose work can't be improved by a second (or third or fourth!) opinion. Whilst we don't necessarily refuse stories that aren't beta-read, our readers may well choose not to read them. Go here for a list of volunteers.
