After beta reading several of my short stories, Dr CJ continues to deliver wonderful and constructive feedback. That's why I keep coming back. Highly recommended!
About this Gig
As an author with a publication contract for a traditionally published novel, I understand the importance of having a beta reader you can trust, and I want to be that beta reader for you.
All packages will include in-text comments and a reader report of approximately 1-2 pages.
When I read, I examine your manuscript for several key components, including:
- Writing mechanics (grammar, punctuation, formatting, etc.)
- Tone and voicing
- Plot and pacing
- Character development
- Worldbuilding
- Strengths, weaknesses, and areas of improvement
- And more!
If you have specific requests or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. I strive to give thoughtful, manageable critiques, and I'm happy to work together to ensure that my services will help where you want it most!
Please note: I prefer to use Word or Google Docs, and I am adamantly against the use of AI when providing feedback.
Genre:
Horror/ thriller
Language:
English
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.
FAQ
Do you use AI in your feedback?
No. I do not use AI in any of my feedback.
Will you read AI-generated works?
No. I am not the right reader for AI-generated works.
How should I provide my work?
I prefer to use either Google Docs or Word, as they make it easier to leave in-text comments. Please message me if you would like to use a different format.
I made significant edits while you were reviewing my work. Now what?
While I recommend waiting on feedback before beginning any edits, I understand the eagerness to continue sculpting your work. If this happens, please send me a message so that we can discuss and update your order if necessary.
What if I want something not listed in your description?
Please send me a message. I am open to custom orders if your requirements work for the both of us.
