About this Gig
Struggling to know if your romance actually lands? Flat chemistry, slow pacing, or a plot hole you can't see because you're too close to it, that's what a beta reader is for.
Hi, I'm Babs, I beta read romance, dark romance, romantasy, erotica, contemporary romance, fantasy, and YA fiction, reading your manuscript the way your target reader will, for hook, pacing, chemistry, tension, and whether the ending pays off.
What you'll get:
- Reader-experience notes, where I was hooked, bored, confused, or in my feelings
- Plot, pacing & structure feedback, holes, sagging middles, timeline slips
- Character & chemistry notes, motivation, voice, believable tension
- A full written report plus chapter-by-chapter notes
- Honest, detailed, constructive feedback, never a teardown
How it works:
- Send your manuscript (Word or Google Doc) with your word count
- I read it like a genre reader, taking notes as I go
- You get a detailed report + chapter notes by your delivery date
Whether it's a slow burn or something darker and messier, I meet your story where it is. Check my profile for genre specialties. Message me your word count for a quote.

FAQ
What genres do you beta read?
My specialty is romance in all its forms, contemporary romance, dark romance, romantasy, and romantic fantasy/YA, plus general fantasy and erotica. If you're not sure your genre fits, message me before ordering and I'll let you know honestly.
Do you read explicit or dark content?
Yes. I read dark romance, morally grey characters, and explicit/erotica content without flinching or judging your story. I'll note if a scene isn't landing the way you intended, but I never censor or soften my feedback based on content.
What exactly will I receive?
A full written feedback report covering plot, pacing, character, and reader engagement, plus chapter-by-chapter notes flagging exactly where I was hooked, confused, bored, or emotional, so you know precisely what to fix.
How is this different from a developmental edit?
Beta reading gives you reader-reaction feedback, what worked, what didn't, where I got confused. A developmental edit goes deeper into structure and craft-level fixes. If you want both, message me, I offer developmental editing too.
My manuscript isn't finished, can I still book?
Yes, I take partial manuscripts and single chapters. Just let me know your actual word count when you message me so I can quote accurately and set the right delivery time.
