About me
Hello, I'm Owen a high school English teacher. Growing up, I have picked up a hobby in reading books which has made me a passionate bibliophile and avid reader over the years. I also write during my spare time with the aim of publishing my book someday.
This has enabled my entry at a very early stage into the publishing industry as a beta reader, book formatter and book editor for both fiction and non fiction books. Knowing what makes readers look forward to the next page & how daunting writing a book is, My goal is to help authors create a publish-ready book that truly connects with readers.

Owen was an enormous help as a beta reader. He was honest and direct, and he wasn’t afraid to point out when something felt too much or needed to be cut back, which was exactly what I needed. At the same time, he also highlighted the strengths of the manuscript and helped me see what was truly working....

Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful feedback. Reading both halves gave you a good view of the story as a whole, and I especially appreciated that you followed the mysteries and their payoffs so carefully. Your comments gave me a useful outside perspective on what works and what I should look at...

Fast and thoughtful feedback. The report gave me a clear sense of the reader’s experience while also pointing out potential areas that may need attention. I especially appreciated the specific observations about the characters, pacing, and how different parts of the story came across to a first-time reader.
