About this Gig

Are you looking for a reliable beta reader?

I help authors bring out the best in their books. I have been beta-reading since 2019.

I will beta-read your story and provide honest and actionable feedback. I pay attention to opening lines, character development, pacing, tone, level of engagement in each chapter, central conflict/resolution, character motivation, and overall reader experience. My critique will be honest and constructive.


I enjoy reading;

  • Romance
  • Fantasy
  • Magical realism
  • Women's Fiction
  • Thrillers/Mystery
  • Literary fiction
  • YA
  • Middle-grade fiction
  • Non-fiction
  • True crime


My critique will focus on a story's elements, with in-line comments and a comprehensive reader report. I will give your story a personal touch by connecting with the characters. I look forward to being part of your success story.


I will be your sensitivity reader concerning infertility based on firsthand experience.

Message me or place your order.

Note: I don't read poetry!

    I couldn't be happier with the beta read I received from Helen. My manuscript is over 95,000 words, and I expected the process to take longer, but she completed it in just 14 days, which was ahead of schedule. What really impressed me was how thorough her feedback was. She didn't just provide a general...

    Wow! Helen provided a really professional review of my reader magnet (short prequel plus first 3 chapters of the novel). She provided inline comments on what she was feeling as a reader plus suggestions for how to improve. She also provided a report on the two documents including what worked well and...

    This was just a 7k word novelette, but Helen gave it the same attention and scrutiny as any full length novel etc. I always come back to Helen for her beta reading service because she is very good at it, and always points out things that will elevate my writing to the next level. Her service is very...

    Another flawless order completed. Always work with Helen as my threshold for clarity and engagement, as she has a deep understanding of the craft. She takes her time and absorbs the writing as written without looking to override the intent of the author. Which is rare in this field. An aspect that should...
