About this Gig

Your success is my top priority...

...so I focus on one simple question: Does the story work?


I'll read your book as a reader would, and I'll give you unfiltered, honest feedback.

What works?

What doesn't?

Would I buy the book after the first few pages?

When would I stop reading the story (and why)?

I'll let you know, flagging all potential dealbreakers and personal preferences.


Storytelling structure, flow, pacing, readability, characterization of your MC and supporting characters, explicit scenes, emotional resonance - all that will be covered in the report (and in-line comments, in case of DOCX file).


What's included:

  • Reader's report;
  • In-line comments with genuine reactions (DOCX only);
  • Honesty, confidentiality, and respect for your creative work.

    So again Maciek has exceeded my expectations. I had just worked with him a few weeks to do a beta read for my new novel. His work was so exceptional that I asked him beta read for first novel (which is current on submission). I was interested to see how both compare. Maciek did his usually extraordinary...

    This was my first time working with Maciek as a beta reader for my novel, and I must say it was a fabulous experience. Proactive, great communication and wonderful in-line notes and report. Maciek provided intelligent, emotional and visceral reactions to my novel. This is priceless to a writer. Even...

    Maciek was awesome to work with. Had a lot of really good stuff to say for the chapters I gave him, and it was more than enough to finish up the last round of revisions for the first two novels of my book!

    Maciek is great! After allowing myself a few days of contemplation upon his delivery, I've concluded that he has managed to give me the precise feedback and insights to my story that I needed at this point of the process (historical fantasy / mythological drama). He's proven himself a life savior in my case. Recommended!
