About this Gig

Hi, I'm Izzy! I'm a beta reader and editor with experience across romance, young adult, and literary fiction. I offer honest, constructive feedback on both fiction and non-fiction projects, and I'm happy to work with all genres.


Each package includes a detailed reader report covering my overall impressions of your work, including plot, flow, characterisation, and dialogue. My aim is to give you clear, thoughtful insights that help you strengthen your story while keeping your voice intact.


This gig focuses on beta reading rather than proofreading, but you can add a proofreading extra for just $10 once you've chosen your package. If you'd like a deeper edit alongside the beta read, please feel free to message me to discuss a custom option.


I know how exciting (and nerve-wracking!) it can be to share your writing, especially if it's your first time getting feedback. I'll always approach your work with care and positivity to make the process both helpful and enjoyable.


For longer manuscripts over 50,000 words or any special requirements, please get in touch and I'll be happy to create a custom offer that fits your project.

    Second book I've run past Izzy Grace, and again she's knocked it out of the park. Her in-depth chapter by chapter actionable critique helped me to considerably improve the first book, and the new report will help me to do the same with this one. Professional, timely, insightful, very well written report, real value for money and she really knows her onions.

    I have had multiple reviews done by Izzy, and I have been satisfied by every one. As an author, her insights into not only story development and progression, but also the characters as well as reader perception is excellent. She is a good guide for honing the final bits of your story, and has become an integral final step before publication.

    Izzy is the most in depth beta reader I have worked with. I assume this is because of her background in editing and it shows. Not only did she pay attention to each aspect of storytelling and answer all my questions, she made sure to go through each individual chapter and let me know what I got right...

    Izzy has absolutely gone above and beyond here. I reached out to her near the end of May, and, by the 1st of June, we were planning a project. The project allowed for a final delivery of July 3rd, which was absolutely great, but Izzy managed to get her response to me by the 1st. The response itself is...

    Izzy has gone above and beyond my expectations for the beta reader report. I have so much actional feedback that I can use to improve my manuscript. I will be working with her again in the future when I have a finished manuscript. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a high quality beta reader...
