I will alpha read your story

Are you a brand new writer, and need help finding someone to read your less-than-perfect manuscript? Have you finished a few chapters and want to make sure your story is headed in the right direction? Are you just lost in your story and need a second pair of eyes?

 I can help. I will quickly provide a low-cost critique of your short story or novel. I love to read books of all kinds--any genre or level of completion. 

I accept all manuscripts--whether it's a short story, a few chapters, or a sweeping epic fantasy. This listing is for anyone looking for an alpha reader, which means your manuscript can be a hot mess. An alpha reader is the first person you show your story to, even before an editor. 

Please do not hesitate to send me a less than perfectly edited manuscript. (This service does not include editing, but I will give you a heads up when I notice typos.) 

 I will read it and tell you what I loved and what I didn't love quite as much. If you are looking for a harsh or brutal reader, that is not me. I strive to provide gentle but honest criticism that will motivate you to continue your writing journey. Let me know how I can help you.
