About this Gig

Hi, I'm Naomi, an experienced alpha and beta reader and book editor passionate about helping authors strengthen their manuscripts. My love for storytelling began in college and grew as I travelled across different countries, where diverse cultures shaped my understanding of stories. I've refined my skills through experience with the Los Angeles Literary Press and Coffee House Press.
I work closely with authors through clear, thoughtful feedback on structure, pacing, characters, and emotional impact, while staying true to your original voice.

FAQ
What exactly do I get in a beta read report?
A written report covering your story's pacing, character believability, dialogue, and emotional impact, plus my honest reactions as a reader, not just a list of flaws.
Will you edit my grammar and spelling too?
Beta reading focuses on the story itself, not line-by-line correction. If you also want grammar fixes, check out my editing gig or message me to combine services.
Do you read the whole manuscript, or just a sample?
I read the full manuscript up to the word count in your chosen package. For longer books, message me for a custom quote.
Can I ask specific questions I want you to focus on?
Yes, send me a few questions before I start (e.g. "does the twist work?" or "is my main character likable?") and I'll answer them directly in the report.
What genres do you read?
I'm open to all genres: fantasy, romance, thriller, mystery, sci-fi, and more. If your book is a strong genre blend, just message me first to confirm fit.
