About this Gig

WELCOME!!!


This GIG is for authors looking for a beta reading service with 100% feedback and suggestions to improve their books.


I will look at:

  • Characters
  • First Chapter Hook
  • Book First Impression
  • Plot Holes Improvement
  • World-Building
  • Readability
  • Dialogue
  • Overall Impression


Please let me know if you want any specific questions answered or you want my opinion on a specific area aside from those listed above.


I try to make this service affordable, so I charge $1 per 1000 words. Feel free to contact me if your word count is above my package so that I can create a custom offer for you.


As a seasoned editor, I will also point out grammar and spelling errors as I beta read your book. However, this is not a book editing GIG. Check out my other Gigs if you need an in-depth proofreading service.

 

I look forward to beta reading your book.

    The feedback received was wonderfully written and full of compliments. It was a little shorter and had fewer critiques than I was expecting but what I did receive was helpful and has given me some food for thought on how to improve my story. Many thanks.

    The delivery was a little late, which was okay as I wasn't on a deadline, but was still telling about the professionalism. Moreover, the report felt AI-generated / impersonal and didn't give me a proper scope of what to improve (expanding on tertiary characters, for example, is not a concern I have)....

    It was really great hearing Stephen's feedback of my book. I got a perfect sense of what is working and what needs some work. He sparked me to get busy with another draft with clear ideas, but the ideas weren't dictated by him. He gave just enough to inspire without meddling which is crucial to keep...
