About this Gig

Need an honest, detailed reader perspective to see if your story hits the right notes? You've come to the right place! Let's map out your draft!

As an avid reader and fiction editor holding a B.A. in English & Psychology, I specialize in analyzing character arcs, emotional tension, and pacing.

I read Romance (sports, dark, contemporary, rom-coms) and Fantasy daily, so I know exactly what your target market expects.

What my Reader Report analyzes:

Character Development: Relatability and believable romance chemistry.
Pacing & Flow: Pinpointing where the story drags or rushes.
Plot & Stakes: Identifying logical plot holes or confusing world-building.
Hook & Climax: Evaluating your opening hooks and narrative delivery.

What you will receive:

In-Line Reader Reactions: Honest thoughts left directly on your document via Word or Google Docs comments.
A Structured Reader Report: A clear critique covering characters, plot, and overall commercial potential.

Note: This gig focuses on big-picture storytelling feedback, not grammatical proofreading. Manuscripts over 90k words? Message me for a custom quote!
