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

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.

    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...

    This is the second time I've used Emilie for beta reading services. I came back for her services again because she's so amazing at it! Her reader report is very thorough, insightful, and constructive. She also leaves little comments and suggestions throughout the story. You can tell that she takes the...

    Emelie did an excellent job for me! She was thorough, thoughtful, and gave me actionable feedback. As an author who has been using beta readers for years, she was everything I look for in a beta reader, and I will absolutely use her again.
