About this Gig
Hi, I'm Julia! Welcome to my beta reading gig!
I have loved reading my whole life (as a child, I packed my suitcase strategically just to fit as many books as possible :)). I am deeply passionate about stories and compelling characters, and I would love to offer you an honest & constructive reader's perspective.
To provide you with the best feedback, I focus on the genres I love the most. I will beta read romance, fantasy and sapphic books in both English and German.
What I provide:
- 100 % human feedback: Genuine, empathetic reader reactions. No AI!
- In-line comments: Direct thoughts inside your document (via Google Docs)
- Pacing & emotional impact: Notes on story flow, tension, and emotions.
- Character & World building consistency: Checking if your characters act logically and if your world-building stays consistent.
- Custom Questions: Answers to specific questions or worries you have about your manuscript.
Please note: My service does not include editing, proofreading, or grammar correction.
Feel free to message me before ordering. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have beforehand.
