About this Gig

I will read your novel, short story, etc and send you a reader report at the end with developmental issues I noticed. This is a broad overview of your work noting bad habits, plot holes, character problems, and other overview issues your book might be having.


Price will vary depending on length, so do contact me before hand so I can make you a custom order. Price is roughly $1 per page.


I am an LGBTQIA+ friendly editor!


What this is NOT:

-A thorough developmental edit. I do have a different listing for that!

-A line or Copy edit. I do not cover spelling and grammar. I may be able to point out consistent issues if I notice them, but that is not part of the package.

-A re-write of your book. That's up to you! After you read my notes you get to decide what you want to keep and change for your story.


I DO NOT read:

Erotica (sex scenes in a larger story are fine)

Incest plots.

Nonstop misery plots. (Dark themes are great, but it cannot be all torture all the time.)

Unchallenged racism, sexism, homophobia, etc

Pure satire books

Genre:

Fanfiction

Horror/ thriller

Mystery

Science fiction

Fantasy

Language:

English

    extremely helpful and meaningful feedback related to the work. I mentioned I was more interested in character work and the feedback was heavily focused on my characters, which was extremely useful for me. Being able to see how someone feels about my characters outside of my own head will help me rework...

    Very thorough and very mindful about what is being asked in regards to addressing named issues. Great at directing the writer to problems and providing solutions to solve known problems.

    Julian's beta reading is excellent! She answered all my questions quickly and professionally and delivered quickly. Her dev letter was detailed and helpful, pointing out things and places where the story needed work as well as things that she liked, too. It can be hard letting someone else have thoughts...
