About this Gig
No AI is used by me at any point of this process.
Please send me a message before ordering so I can create a custom order tailored to your needs!
Just finished your manuscript and need someone to look it over? I'd be happy to do so!
I read fantasy, science fiction, romance, mystery, young adult, general fiction, memoirs, travelogues, and so much more!
I will read through your manuscript and offer thoughtful, honest, and critical advice and feedback about pacing, clarity, structure, characters and character development, and general content. Where applicable, I will also add inline comments. These aren't play-by-play thoughts of your story, but will be used where something minor might need correcting or clarifying.
My Reader Report will vary in length (usually around 7-15 pages) and typically includes a brief section of the story's strengths, and a longer section with my recommendations.
I usually read in Microsoft Word or Pages but I don't mind reading other forms like PDFs.
I look forward to reading your work!
If you also need your manuscript edited, I offer a 10% discount on my editing service if I've beta read your manuscript.
Genre:
Literary fiction
Language:
English
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
Can I negotiate on the price?
If you're feeling a little tight for money and need a read through before self-publishing your book, or submitting a short story to a contest, I totally understand. Reach out and I'll see what I can do, but no promises.
Can I ask you questions after the job is done for free?
Yes! I am available to answer questions once the job is done at no additional cost.
Do you offer fact-checking?
I do! Based on the length of the book and the scope of fact-checking that needs to be done, I can send you a custom offer for your manuscript.
What if I need to the Report sooner than the advertised time?
If you need your Report back sooner than my pre-defined gig allows, please reach out! Depending on my current work load, I may be able to help you.

Nathaniel's feedback was insightful, encouraging, and incisive. I hired another Beta reader, who was good, but Nathaniel went beyond. I felt that not only had he read my work carefully, but considered broad implications of the work, where it might go, and what could bring it to the next level. I will definitely be hiring him again for similar projects.
