About this Gig

When I review your manuscript, I'm not just looking for grammar mistakes or things that technically work. I'm reading it as a reader.


I'll actively beta-read your story from beginning to end, annotating as I go and leaving comments based on my genuine reactions, thoughts, questions, and feelings while reading.


As I read, I'll be asking myself:

  • How does this scene make me feel?
  • Am I invested in this character?
  • Does the dialogue feel natural?
  • Is the pacing too fast or too slow?
  • Does this character's behaviour feel true to who they are?
  • Is anything confusing or unclear?
  • Could the setting be more descriptive?
  • Does the world feel immersive?
  • Am I excited to keep reading?


I'll leave in-document comments throughout your manuscript so you can see my genuine first impressions as a reader the moments that made me laugh, gasp, question something, fall in love with a character, or desperately need to know what happens next.


For my Standard and Premium Packages, youll also receive a 1-page reader report where I step back and look at the manuscript as a whole. Ill cover my overall thoughts, strengths, weaknesses, character and plot impressions, pacing, and anything else that stood out to me.
