FAQ
What genres do you beta read?
I focus on culinary cozy mystery and cozy mystery more broadly, including amateur sleuth, small-town, and food-themed series. Message me first if your story blends in another genre.
What's the difference between beta reading and editing?
Beta reading gives you reader-level feedback on story, pacing, and structure. I don't line-edit for grammar or spelling, this is about how the story lands, not sentence-level corrections.
Do you check if my mystery is "fair play"?
Yes. I look at whether the clues you plant are fair to readers and whether the reveal feels earned rather than random, which matters a lot in this genre.
Do you sign NDAs or keep my manuscript confidential?
Yes, your manuscript is treated as fully confidential and is never shared or stored beyond what's needed to complete your order.
How should I send my manuscript?
Once you order, send it as a Word document (.docx) or PDF.
Can you beta read a manuscript longer than my package limit?
Yes, just message me before ordering so we can discuss timeline and a custom offer for longer word counts.
Do you beta read series or connected books?
Yes, I can track continuity across a series. Let me know upfront if this is part of a larger series so I can watch for consistency issues.
What will my feedback report include?
A full written reader report covering plot, pacing, clue fairness, character consistency, and cozy tone, plus inline comments in your document.
