About this Gig
Your story deserves more than "I liked it." As your beta reader, I give you honest, detailed feedback on the things that actually make readers stay or put a book down.
What I focus on:
- Plot holes and pacing issues
- Character development and consistency
- Dialogue that feels real
- Worldbuilding gaps
- Emotional impact and reader engagement
- Overall readability
I read as a genuine reader first, then break down what's working and what isn't, so you know exactly where to focus your revisions. I cover romance, cozy mystery, fantasy, horror/thriller, and self-help/wellness manuscripts.
This isn't proofreading or line editing. I'm not fixing commas, I'm helping you see your story the way a reader will experience it.
Every writer's voice is different, and my job isn't to change yours, it's to help you tell your story stronger.
Message me before ordering if you want to talk through your manuscript first.

FAQ
What genres do you cover?
Romance, cozy mystery, fantasy, horror/thriller, and self-help/wellness manuscripts. If your manuscript falls outside these, message me first to check fit.
What's the difference between beta reading and editing?
Beta reading focuses on the reader experience, plot, pacing, characters, worldbuilding, and emotional impact. It's not line editing or proofreading, though I'll flag recurring grammar issues if they affect readability.
Will you fix my grammar and typos?
No, that falls under proofreading or copyediting. My focus is story-level feedback, not sentence-level corrections.
How do you deliver feedback?
A written reader report covering plot, pacing, characters, dialogue, and worldbuilding, plus specific notes based on what you want feedback on.
What if my manuscript is longer than the word count in a package?
Message me before ordering so we can adjust the package or add extra words.
Do you keep my manuscript confidential?
Yes, your story stays private and is never shared or used without your permission.
Can I request a specific focus, like pacing only or character development only?
Yes, let me know what you want prioritized before I start.
Is unlimited revisions really unlimited?
Revisions apply to clarifying or adjusting the feedback I've given, not re-reading a fully revised manuscript from scratch. Message me if you're unsure what's covered.
