I will beta read your manuscript and provide clear, practical feedback
Publishing Editor, Writer and Documentation Specialist
About this Gig
A manuscript can be hard to judge when you are too close to it. I will beta read your story and provide clear, practical feedback on what is working, what feels confusing, and what may need more development.
My reader report can cover plot, pacing, character motivation, continuity, reader engagement, scene flow, believability, strengths, weak spots, and suggested next steps. My goal is not to rewrite your voice, but to help you understand how the story is landing with a reader.
This gig is best for novels, novellas, opening chapters, short stories, romance, fantasy, science fiction, horror/thriller, mystery, memoir-style work, and other story-driven manuscripts.
Please note: this is a beta reading and reader feedback service, not proofreading, copyediting, line editing, or rewriting. Revisions apply to clarification or adjustment of the feedback report, not a second full read-through of a revised manuscript.

FAQ
Is this gig proofreading or copyediting?
No. This is beta reading and reader feedback. I will not correct every grammar issue, rewrite sentences, or line edit the manuscript unless we agree on a separate service.
What does the reader report include?
Your reader report will cover plot, pacing, character motivation, continuity, clarity, reader engagement, believability, strengths, weak spots, and suggested next steps.
What counts as a revision?
A revision means I will clarify or adjust the feedback report if something is unclear. It does not include a second full read-through of a revised manuscript.
Can you read longer manuscripts?
Yes. You can add additional word-count extras, or message me if you are unsure which package fits your manuscript.
What genres do you read?
I’m comfortable with romance, fantasy, science fiction, horror/thriller, mystery, memoir-style work, self-help, metaphysical/spiritual topics, and other story-driven or personal-development manuscripts.
