About this Gig

I will provide clear, honest feedback for your fiction manuscript.

*Please message me before placing your order to confirm availability.


For this gig, I require:

  • Your manuscript as a Word doc/docx.


I offer three beta packages depending on the depth of feedback you're looking for:


Basic Reader Reaction Beta (up to 10K words)

Engaged reader impressions and emotional reactions. This package focuses on how the story feels to read, including moments of confusion or plot holes. Limited margin comments and actionable insights.


Standard Story-Level Beta + Report (up to 40K words)

Selective margin comments plus a feedback report covering plot, pacing, characters, and key revision priorities. Includes actionable suggestions.


Premium In-Depth Beta + Full Report (up to 100K words)

Full margin comments and a comprehensive feedback report analysing story structure, character arcs, world-building, and emotional impact. Includes actionable suggestions.


*Each package includes a maximum word count.

Please add extra words before ordering if needed.

If your manuscript greatly exceeds my max word count of 100K, please contact me for a custom offer.


I look forward to working with you!

    Another successful Beta Edit project. Deborah is exceptional at identifying opportunities to improve and tighten up my writing. She provides great feedback, and even if there are no suggestions, she shows she is following along and gets it. I consider Deborah part of my creative team. I plan on including her Beta Editing for all my upcoming fantasy novels.

    I am very happy with the beta read Deborah provided. She read my manuscript carefully and made professional comments that will improve my book. I chose her based on her reviews, and she lived up to my expectations. I will definitely come back to her with my future projects and recommend her to others.

    Comprehensive, and very fast! It's always great as well, to find your own suspicions about your work's shortcomings confirmed--as well as a few things I was kicking myself for missing! On the whole, excellent value from a most professional reader! I definitely made the right choice in beta reader. :) Money very well spent.

    She was very kind and worth every bit of it. The information has made my book tremendously better. I do appreciate everything she has did and would love to see if she would want to read my entire book all 19 chapters.
