About this Gig

I am all about a well-constructed narrative and a beautiful story. There is nothing more compelling than a fun adventure coupled with a journey of change for a character with unique desires and flaws. With my advice and pointers as a beta-reader, your story can be just that and reach the eyes and hearts of millions! 


For each manuscript, I will give a full read-through with detailed thoughts from a reader's perspective. I'll give you a full analysis of bright spots, areas that need improvement, areas to consider omitting, and thoughts on the story's structure itself. Do note, my suggestions for improvement/omission are not the law. They are merely suggestions and final decisions on your manuscript are entirely up to you.  

 

As for what I will be breaking down in your narrative for you: 

  • Opening/Hook 
  • Plot/Pacing 
  • Characters/characterization 
  • Dialogue 
  • Setting/Worldbuilding 

 

The only genres I am reading at this time are: 

  • Fantasy (Adult, YA, historical) 
  • Science Fiction 
  • Contemporary 
  • Horror 

 

Any questions or specific things you're looking for concerning the beta-read, feel free to send those with the manuscript.

    I really appreciate John's feedback. It was really insightful and he gave me quite a few unique things to think about that I hadn't considered yet. His feedback was clearly communicated, detailed and organized, compassionate, and easy to understand. He was passionate, put a lot of care into his critique...

    Great feedback that I really needed to hear! I can tell he really took this seriously due to the quality of the responses to my questions regarding my novel. I will definitely be working with John in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a beta reader!

    John is a great beta reader who provides thoughtful insight and meaningful suggestions towards the work. His report has given me food for thought, and given this was my third beta reader hire on this platform, it was nice to haven not only a different perspective but a male one. I very much enjoyed...

    Only beta reader (out of 25 over a 18 month period) I have had for the same speculative fiction manuscript who admitted to only reading 1/6th of the manuscript before submitting his evaluation. While I appreciate all feedback, both negative and positive, the 700 words was vague and not very actionable.
