Your story has power, and my job is to help you fully unlock it
About this Gig
Hello, writer! I'm Paula, a voracious reader and developmental editor here to make your beta reading experience smooth, insightful, and uplifting.
My goal is simple: to help your book shine at its brightest. I provide detailed, constructive feedback that highlights where your story can grow while celebrating what is already working beautifully.
This gig includes:
Color-coded inline comments throughout your manuscript:
- Reader's reactions (real-time thoughts and emotional responses).
- Questions and suggestions to clarify confusing areas or strengthen your narrative.
- Grammar and stylistic adjustments to elevate your writing.
- Memorable quotes that truly resonate.
A comprehensive reader's report:
- Character development and emotional depth.
- World-building complexity and consistency.
- Plot progression, pacing, and structure.
- Writing style, voice, and flow.
- Overall reader engagement and satisfaction.
If you have any questions or special requests, feel free to reach out. I'm always happy to chat and see if I'm the right fit for your story.

FAQ
Do you use AI for any parts of the beta reading?
No. From leaving inline comments throughout the manuscript to writing the report (from the notes I take during the reading), it is all me.
Would you beta read a manuscript that is not 100% finished?
Yes, I do not have any problem reading a book that is not finished. I think feedback is important at every stage.
Would you beta read a manuscript that's less than 25k?
Of course! I have beta read opening chapters and short stories. Contact me, so we can arrange the custom offer.
Would you beta read a manuscript over 75k words?
Absolutely! I have done it before and now would be no problem. Please contact, so we can work out the price and the delivery day together (the number of inline comments and pages on the report will remain as the ones in the premium package).
Do you only beta read in English?
I can also beta read in Spanish.

Paula went above and beyond in her report, in a way that showed me a horizon I didn't know about. She's asking questions about plot-lines reserved for later installments. Depth-wise she did incredible, her delivery with report and in-line comments will help my writing shine. I will be back for Paula's quality of work.
