I will beta read your fantasy or horror book, story, or script
Beta Reader and Content Writer
About this Gig
Hi! I'm Nik (he/him), a queer writer, editor, and beta reader with 5 years of experience. I spend basically all my time reading books, stories, and scripts.
There are two genres I absolutely adore: fantasy and horror. I also specialize in LGBTQ+ topics and love a good romance.
Here's what youll get with every order:
- In-document comments on grammar and spelling (unless you don't want this)
- In-document comments of my thoughts as I go along (so that you can see what the reader might be thinking)
- Reader report document on the plot, characters, story, pacing, my personal favorites, any confusion, etc. (detailed; usually, you expect 2k+ words for stories over 25k words)
- Sensitivity report (LGBTQ+, fat rep, mental health rep - esp. neurodivergence and OCD)
I read all genres, but these are my personal faves:
- Horror
- Fantasy
- Romantasy
- Romance

Nik did a PHENOMENAL job going through my YA fantasy novel. Caught errors that my manuscript-blindness had me completely glossing over, made such sweet notes along the way, and helped me find what needs a little bit of tuning before the book is ready to go on shelves! I would absolutely recommend Nik...

Nik is amazing. He didn't butter me up. He brought up things i never considered. He showed me what I needed to work on without being offensive. He confirmed some issues I myself had with my story without prompting. I was able to feel what my story was like through someone else's eyes. He didn't deliver...

Gave me a very in depth and honest Beta Reader Report, also left comments on their thoughts in the book. Both of those combined made this worth every dollar! They were very thorough and gave me so much to work with!

Not gonna lie. Nik is amazing. I love working with him. His feedback is honest, cogent, and insightful. As much as making revisions annoys me, the ones Nik suggests are the ones that I NEED to make. Annoying tasks are less annoying when they're the RIGHT tasks. :)
