I will beta read your fantasy, romance, sci fi, or literary fiction manuscript
Beta Reader and Developmental Editor for Fantasy, Romance and Sci Fi
About this Gig
I beta read your manuscript from a readers perspective, not as an editor looking for line-level issues. I focus on what engages, what stalls, and what pulls attention away from the story.
I beta read fantasy, romance, science fiction, and literary fiction, providing honest, constructive feedback on how your manuscript reads to a reader.
I focus on:
- Whether the opening hooks
- Character engagement and believability
- Pacing and story momentum
- Overall reader interest
- Ending satisfaction
Whats included:
- Inline comments noting my reactionsconfusion, engagement, predictions, pacing issues, and moments where the story loses momentum.
- A reader report covering overall impressions, plot & pacing, character engagement, strengths and weaknesses, and ending satisfaction.
- 10+ curated questions tailored to your manuscript.
This service tells you how your manuscript reads to a reader before it reaches an agent, editor, or wider audience.
Please note: This is beta reading, not developmental editing, restructuring, line editing, proofreading, or grammar correction. I do not read erotica.
For manuscripts under 40k or over 80k words, please message me for a custom offer.
Thanks!

Absolutely brilliant! One of the best beta readers I've ever used! I don't say this lightly, as I have used quite a few on this platform. Laiba covered everything I could've asked for and more (considering she also read the first book in the series before beta reading this one). Great constructive feedback...

She beta read the second draft of my first novel and her report was beyond insightful and eye opening to new tasks I need to tend to with my third draft. Her attention to detail and little things that matter were more than astonishing and very needed. I look forward to working with her in my future projects.
