Exceptional. Fay's read was thorough and very well thought out. It's not often that someone can read something of yours and give you such an accurate précis. I'll most certainly work with her again.
About this Gig
Have you finished a novel?
Thats an amazing achievement in itself!
But dont just send it out blind, or get it edited and throw it up on Kindle. Get some feedback on the story and see how you might make it better. There are so many things that can make the difference between an okay story and one that grabs a reader and won't let them go.
Things like:
- Setups and payoffs
- Continuity
- Character relatability
- Tension
- Genre-specific tropes
I've also been a first or beta reader for fellow pros who write thrillers, mysteries, horror, fantasy, literary, and more.
Now, I'd love to be your first reader and help you develop your craft.
For lots of positive support and constructive criticism please get in touch. I know how challenging it can be to put your work in front of someone for the first time and I promise to treat you gently but honestly.

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...

Fay is a very thorough beta reader who clearly engaged with the manuscript and wasn't afraid to provide honest criticism. The feedback was detailed and focused heavily on story structure, pacing, marketability, and larger developmental suggestions rather than surface-level comments. While I didn't agree...

Great overall feedback that was formatted into plot, style, and tone sections. The comments within the text itself were very helpful and showed minute-by-minute comments on pacing, typos, and thoughts as the book progressed. I am very satisfied with this project. It was exactly what I needed.
