About this Gig
Is your manuscript finished, but you are not sure what needs fixing before you revise, query, or publish?
I will beta read and evaluate your manuscript as a thoughtful real reader, then give you honest, respectful, and actionable feedback on how the story lands.This is a story-focused manuscript evaluation, not proofreading or line editing.
What I Evaluate:
- Plot and structure
- Pacing and momentum
- Character development and consistency
- Stakes, tension, and clarity
- Conflict and turning points
- Ending and whether it feels earned
- What is working well and should be protected
- The most important revision priorities
You will receive:
- A clear, organized written feedback report
- Specific explanations of strengths and weaknesses
- Practical revision suggestions
- Reader-reaction notes where useful
This service is a good fit for:
- Fiction writers with a completed manuscript or substantial draft
- First-time novelists who need clear direction
- Authors preparing for beta readers, agents, or self-publishing
- Writers who want developmental insight without having their voice rewritten
My feedback is balanced, direct, and respectful, designed to help you improve the story without destroying your voice.

FAQ
What is a manuscript evaluation?
A manuscript evaluation is a big-picture review of your story, focusing on plot, pacing, structure, and characters rather than grammar or sentence-level edits.
Is this the same as beta reading?
No. Beta reading focuses on reader reactions, while a manuscript evaluation provides structured, professional feedback with clear revision guidance.
Will you edit grammar or fix typos?
No. This service does not include line editing, proofreading, or grammar correction. The focus is story development.
What genres do you work with?
I work with most fiction genres, including fantasy, sci-fi, romance, thriller, dystopian, literary fiction, and YA.
Can non-native English writers order this gig?
Absolutely. Many writers I work with are non-native English speakers. Feedback focuses on story clarity, not language perfection.
How detailed is the feedback?
You’ll receive a multi-page written report with clear explanations, examples, and prioritized revision advice.
Will you rewrite parts of my manuscript?
No. I do not rewrite text. I explain what isn’t working and why, so you can revise confidently.
Can I ask follow-up questions?
Yes. One round of clarification questions is welcome after delivery.
