About this Gig
Are you passionate about your story? Do you need a fresh set of eyes to look over your manuscript?
Look no further!
The past fourteen years of writing and editing have taught me the importance of an engaging piece, polished to its full potential, and I'm ready to work on that with you! I've published ten books of my own, and I'm ready to help your book in the phases of editing!
From a reader's perspective, I will read through your Word document and add comments and critiques to your manuscript. I will also provide a 2-3 page reader report answering questions centered around these categories:
- Was your first chapter gripping enough to hold a reader's attention?
- How was the character development?
- Was anything confusing?
- How was the plot flow/readability?
- Are there moments where the story lagged?
- Was the dialogue natural?
- Was the ending worth reading the whole book?
- Were there any errors or inconsistencies?
I look forward to working with you!
I only read *FICTION* manuscripts.
*I do not read Erotica. No explicit sex scenes and no scenes with sexual assault
**I ONLY make all my comments in Word.
***I do not read AI generated stories.

FAQ
What if my manuscript is more than 100,000 words?
Unfortunately, at this moment in time, I am not taking orders larger than 100,000 words.
Do you only beta read fiction?
Yes, I do only beta read fiction manuscripts. Since my questions are fiction oriented, they would not be helpful to someone who is writing something else.
I have a sex scene in my book - can I still order?
I don't read explicit sex scenes, so if a intimate scene were to go on for more than a page, I would have to pass. If there are very descriptive sexual scenes, I'd have to pass. But please message me if you're unsure, and hopefully we can work something out!
Is AI used in your editing services?
No, I do not use AI in any of my services whatsoever, and I do not read AI generated manuscripts.
