I will be your human alpha or beta reader for literary fiction critique
Beta Reader Book Editor Book Formatter Book Marketing Specialist
About this Gig
Every writer needs a reader who tells the truth, not just what's easy to hear.
It's hard to know how your story actually lands once you've read it a hundred times yourself. Plot holes hide, pacing drags go unnoticed, and characters can feel inconsistent without you realizing it. That's where a real human reader makes the difference not a bot skimming for buzzwords, but someone who reads as your future audience will.
I'm a lifelong book lover who's spent years reading for writer friends long before their books ever reached shelves. I read closely, think critically, and give feedback that's honest, specific, and genuinely useful no AI shortcuts, no generic praise.
Here's what you get:
- Alpha or beta reading for literary fiction and other genres, at whatever stage your draft is in
- Detailed critique feedback on plot, pacing, character development, and structure
- Sensitivity reading available on request, with thoughtful, respectful notes
- I treat every manuscript with care and confidentiality, and my feedback is built to help you strengthen your story, not just tell you what's wrong.
Send me your manuscript and let's find out what your readers will really think.

FAQ
1. Is your feedback AI-generated?
No. Every read and every note comes from me personally. No AI tools are used to generate feedback.
2. What's the difference between alpha and beta reading?
Alpha reading happens earlier, often on a rougher draft, focusing on big-picture story issues. Beta reading is for more polished drafts, closer to how a real reader will experience the book.
3. Do you offer sensitivity reading?
Yes, on request. Let me know the specific perspective or topic you'd like reviewed, and I'll confirm if it's a good fit before we start.
4. Will you edit or proofread my manuscript too?
No, this gig is feedback-focused, not line editing. If you need formatting or editing done, feel free to check my other gigs.
5. Will my manuscript stay confidential?
Yes. Your work is handled privately and never shared, copied, or discussed outside our project.
