FAQ
What is beta reading?
Beta reading focuses on the reader's experience rather than editing. I'll provide honest, constructive feedback on your plot, pacing, characters, dialogue, and overall engagement. This service does not include proofreading or editing (I offer that separately!).
Will you edit my manuscript?
Nope! This is a beta reading service, not a proofreading or editing service. I'll point out what works, what doesn't, and where I became confused or disengaged, but I won't correct grammar, punctuation, or rewrite sentences. Visit my profile to view my proofreading rates!
What will I receive?
You'll receive a detailed reader report with my thoughts on your story, including feedback on plot, pacing, characters, dialogue, consistency, and overall reader experience. I provide both in-line comments and a PDF reader report!
What genres do you read?
I enjoy reading memoir, historical fiction, romance, mystery, literary fiction, YA, and contemporary fiction. If you're unsure whether your manuscript is a good fit, feel free to message me before ordering!
Do you read explicit or mature content?
For personal reasons, I don't accept manuscripts containing graphic sexual content or LGBTQ+ romance or themes. If you're unsure whether your book is a good fit, please send me a message before ordering.
Will my manuscript remain confidential?
Absolutely. Your manuscript and all related materials will remain private and will never be shared or distributed.
Can I contact you before ordering?
Absolutely! If you have questions about word count, genre, or whether your manuscript is a good fit, I'd be happy to chat before you place an order.
Can I request feedback on specific areas?
Yes! If there are particular elements you'd like me to focus on—such as pacing, character development, worldbuilding, or dialogue—just let me know before I begin.
Do you beta read unfinished manuscripts?
Yes, as long as the portion you send is complete enough for meaningful feedback. Sample chapters and partial manuscripts are welcome!
