I will beta read your writing and provide expert feedback
About this Gig
Looking for more than a beta reader? Honest, actionable feedback on your writing from a publishing professional.
You will receive:
- At least 500 words of detailed feedback on your work
- Analysis of plot, pacing, writing style, character, point of view and structure
- Strengths and areas for improvement
- Clear step-by-step suggestions to improve your work
As a published author myself, I know how difficult it can be to find genuinely useful, industry-quality insights into your writing. I also know how vulnerable it can feel to trust someone with your work, and this is something I never take for granted. I am a reader you can trust.
I offer a professional-level editorial report with honest, actionable feedback. I've honed my skills through teaching creative writing at universities across the UK and by reading for top literary organisations like Faber and the Bridport Short Story Prize.
This package is ideal if you'd like to experience my editorial approach before investing in a full manuscript review, or if you'd like guidance on your short story.

FAQ
What genres do you read?
I love all genres! I have particular experience with literary fiction, short stories, upmarket, book club, women's fiction, 'weird girl' fiction, speculative fiction, horror, thriller and crime, but I am more than happy to read other genres too. Send me a message if you want to check our fit!
Will you rewrite my manuscript?
No, I won't rewrite the work you send me, because I want to show you where you can improve so you can apply it yourself to future writing. This is an offering for writers who genuinely want to improve their craft.
What kind of feedback will I receive?
I'll shortly be adding examples to my portfolio – but for this 4000 word gig, you can expect a paragraph analysing your writing, which looks at pacing, character, story, writing style, POV and more, as well as a bullet list of how you could implement my suggestions.
Is my work confidential?
100% yes. I will never put your work into any AI, or use AI to write my feedback. I treat every client's work with the utmost security. I will delete your file after I have completed the work, unless you are a mentoring client.
Can I contact you before ordering?
Please do! I'd love to chat :)
What if I'm not happy with my feedback?
In the unlikely event that you're not satisfied with your feedback report, please get in touch and I will make it right or refund you.
