About this Gig
Your romance should do more than move from one plot point to the next. As a reader, I want to connect with the characters, care about what happens to them, and feel invested in the relationship they are building.
When I beta read your romance manuscript, I focus on character development, emotional connection, relationship growth, chemistry, pacing, clarity, reader engagement, and romantic payoff.
My feedback is thoughtful, specific, encouraging, and reader-centered. I will share where I felt most connected, where my emotional investment changed, what made me want to keep reading, and where I was left wanting more.
Every package includes a Romance Reader Report tailored to your story.
Choose the package that fits your manuscript: Short Story up to 7,000 words, Novella up to 40,000 words, or Novel up to 70,000 words.
My service is focused on the reader experience. It does not include developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, proofreading, rewriting, or sensitivity reading. I will not tell you how your story must be written or promise publication results.
If you want to understand how your romance feels, connects, and stays with a reader, I would be happy to read it.
