I will beta read your story and give you constructive feedback
About this Gig
I offer honest, thoughtful, and constructive beta reading from a readers perspective. Rather than focusing on grammar or rewriting, Ill look at the overall reading experience and how well your story works for a reader.
Depending on the package, I can give feedback on:
- Plot and story structure
- Character development and relationships
- Pacing and chapter flow
- Dialogue and readability
- World-building and consistency
- Emotional impact and reader engagement
Strong points and weaker sections
Places where the story may become confusing or lose the reader
Ill be honest about what worked for me and what didnt, while keeping my feedback constructive and respectful of your writing style and creative choices.
I have a BA in Humanities with a focus on English Studies and Applied English Language Studies, along with professional experience in editing and proofreading.
If youre working on a longer manuscript, feel free to message me before ordering so we can make sure the package is suitable for your project.

FAQ
What kind of manuscripts do you beta read?
I primarily beta read novels, novellas, longer-form fiction, and fanfiction. If you have a different type of longer creative project, feel free to message me first.
What will you look for while beta reading?
I can look at plot, structure, characters, pacing, dialogue, chapter flow, clarity, consistency, world-building, emotional impact, and overall reader engagement.
Will you tell me if something isn't working?
Yes. I'll give you honest and constructive feedback, including pointing out sections that confused me, felt slow, or didn't work for me as a reader.
Is beta reading the same as proofreading or editing?
No. Beta reading focuses mainly on the story and overall reading experience rather than correcting grammar, spelling, or punctuation.

Yes. Please message me with your manuscript's word count before ordering so we can make sure you choose the appropriate package.

Absolutely. If you're particularly concerned about something such as pacing, character development, your ending, or whether the story is easy to follow, let me know.
