    I'm torn. On the one hand, the report missed a lot of details. The novel's protagonist wasn't mentioned once, and some of the plot events/mechanics were either misinterpreted or misremembered. The report doc itself seemed to be a speech-to-text transcript and was not cleaned up or formatted in a readable...

    I think that my giving me a list of things to look at detracted from her overall report. I won't do that again. Her beta reading was a group that I hired and her opinion, opinions went outside of what the other readers said. I think perhaps the genre of literary thriller is not something she's used to....

    I was a bit apprehensive because my work is a literary novel, slight of plot, but Fay not only understood it, but she made a number of cogent recommendations. In addition, although I specifically stated I didn't need a line edit, she pointed out a number of typos. Truly an excellent job.
