I will be your dark romance and romantasy beta reader
About this Gig
Struggling to know if your romance manuscript actually works before you publish or query agents?
As your romance beta reader, I read your dark romance, romantasy, or contemporary romance manuscript the way a real target reader would, tracking chemistry, pacing, trope execution, and emotional payoff from page one to the end.
I focus on what readers and reviewers notice: Does the tension build naturally? Does the romance earn its ending? Are there pacing dips, plot holes, or moments where reader investment drops? You get honest, specific feedback, never vague praise or empty encouragement.
What you'll receive:
- A detailed reader report covering plot, pacing, and character chemistry
- Notes on trope execution and genre reader expectations
- Flagged inconsistencies, slow sections, and confusing moments
- Honest reaction notes from a genuine target reader, not a line editor
I regularly read dark romance, romantasy, contemporary romance, and steamy romance, staying current with what's trending so your book connects with today's readers.
Send your manuscript and let's find out what's working, what's not, and how to make readers fall for your story before it reaches print.

FAQ
What genres and subgenres do you read?
Dark romance, romantasy, contemporary romance, and steamy/spicy romance. If your book blends genres, message me first to confirm it's a good fit
Do you edit grammar and line level writing?
No, this is a beta read focused on story, not copyediting. The Premium package includes a sample line edit on your opening chapter only, as a taste of that feedback
What format should I send my manuscript in?
Word document (.docx) or Google Docs link preferred. PDFs are accepted but make commenting slower, so docx is best if possible
Will you tell me if my book is "good"?
I'll give honest, specific feedback on what's working and what isn't, always framed to help you strengthen the book, not just a yes or no verdict
Do you read explicit or spicy content?
Yes, I'm comfortable with on-page intimacy and dark romance themes. If your book includes especially heavy content, flag it in your order notes
Can I ask follow-up questions after I receive my report?
Yes, I'm happy to clarify any notes or answer specific questions about the feedback within reason after delivery
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes, I'm glad to sign an NDA if you provide one before I start reading
