I will provide honest, diverse beta reading for your novel
About this Gig
Hi! I'm Kay, a writer, educator, and beta reader who loves helping authors bring their stories to life. I specialize in fiction that centers on emotional truth and diverse perspectives.
I will read your manuscript and provide thoughtful, honest feedback from a reader's perspective (no line edits or grammar corrections), but clear reactions to what's working and what could be improved.
- I leave margin comments throughout your manuscript.
- I highlight plot flow, character arcs, dialogue, emotional pacing, and clarity.
- Reader reports are included in Standard and Premium packages.
- I do not beta-read horror, erotica, or graphic content.
Genres I enjoy: women's fiction, young adult, romance, literary, upmarket, and multicultural stories.
If your manuscript is between word count tiers, just message me. I offer custom quotes at $4 per 1,000 words. I can't wait to read your story!

FAQ
What file types do you accept?
I prefer Word documents (.doc or .docx) so I can leave comments using Track Changes. Google Docs can work too — just let me know in advance.
Do you provide line editing or grammar corrections?
No. This is a beta read, which means I focus on story-level feedback like pacing, clarity, characters, and emotional impact. I’ll leave in-line comments as a reader — not as a copyeditor.
My word count doesn’t fit your packages. Can I still hire you?
Yes! I charge $4 per 1,000 words and can create a custom quote for any length. Just message me with your word count and I’ll send an offer.
What genres do you work with, and are there any you avoid?
I love reading women’s fiction, YA, literary, romance, multicultural stories, and character-driven fiction. I do not accept horror or erotica.

Kay Dias gave me clear, focused beta reader feedback that was easy to understand and apply. She pointed out where the manuscript slowed down or needed clarification, always from a reader’s perspective. Her comments were practical, thoughtful, and delivered on time. I’d definitely work with her again.
