About this Gig

Hello! I'm Elena, and I am passionate about helping writers bring their stories to life. With my background and knowledge of storytelling, I would love the opportunity to provide you feedback on your novel!


My going rate is $1.50 USD per 1,000 words.


NOTE: I do not work with anyone who has used generative AI to write their novel in any capacity.


As a beta reader, I write comments of opinions, thoughts and feedback, so you will be receiving my first impressions as I progress through your manuscript.


When providing feedback, I focus on:

  • Plot
  • Character development
  • Structure
  • Tension and conflict


In the reader report I provide, I answer the following questions to allow you to understand the reader experience of your story, of things that work and things that can improve:


  1. How was the hook, and was it intriguing enough for me to want to continue?
  2. Was the plot engaging and easy to follow?
  3. Were the characters relatable, believable and well-developed?
  4. Was the dialogue natural?
  5. How was the tension and pacing of the story?
  6. What were my favourite parts?
  7. What do I believe can be improved?
  8. Did I enjoy the book?


Please feel free to mention any questions you would like me to focus on!

    Elena provide a very insightful review of my draft. Lot's of great advice and it is clear she has done this many times - she has a strong sense of how to progress a story, flesh out the characters, etc. I will be acting on most of her recommendations. Thanks Elena!
