About this Gig


Hello, writers!


I've worked in the publishing industry for 6+ years, and I'm an avid reader in my off hours.


I enjoy reading Horror, Romance, Erotica, and Thriller novels in English. I also read books geared for both Young Adult and Adult audiences.


I am NOT taking on any non-fiction or children's book projects at this time. I also do not beta read outlines.

This gig does NOT include copy edits.


I will touch on the following criteria in a reader report if applicable:


Characters

Plot and Pacing

World Building

Dialogue

Readability


The length of the reader report varies based off the length of the material provided. A basic package report could be 1-2 pages while a premium report can be between 4-7 pages in length.


I will also provide first impression thoughts, continuity comments, and opinions for improvements if applicable.

I require a copy of your manuscript in MS Word to allow for in-document commentary. If you do not provide a Word document of your story, I will reach back out to you or convert the file to a useable format so that I can make inline comments while reading.

If you have any questions regarding my process or feedback, please feel free to contact me!

Genre:

Horror/ thriller

Language:

English

    Emilie did such a great job as a beta reader for my manuscript! She sent me a 7.5-page, very detailed (yet easy to read) report about my manuscript. What I appreciated so much was that Emilie broke down each of my characters, helping me understand the very specific details that made her resonate with...

    I always trust Emilie as a beta reader. Emelie has great attention to detail. My manuscript had already been through multiple eyes and she found inconsistencies that no one else had, and I'm so lucky she did. I come back to her time and time again because she has a great understanding of the in depth...

    I always enjoy working with Emilie. She is thoughtful, thorough, and consistently provides detailed feedback. What I appreciate most is that she truly engages with the book itself, rather than offering surface-level comments. It is clear that she takes the time to understand the story, the characters,...

    Emilie gave incredibly insightful feedback with valuable insights on how to improve the manuscript, many of which I intend to implement. She pointed out issues missed by other beta readers and was very thorough in her reader's report. I would absolutely book her again.

    She gave some really intuitive feedback in addition to being thorough. This is exactly why I wanted a beta reader with romance genre familiarity. My plot goes back-and-forth in time, and she offered a great idea for how to frame my chapters as well as specifics on where my gaps reside. And she framed...
