About this Gig

Are you a new writer looking for a published beta reader to write a detailed, honest, review of your writing without some jerk bursting your bubble? Do you want an honest opinion delivered in a fun, constructive manner that wont dilute your trademark style? Someone to help you learn all the rules and when to break them?

Look no further. No story is too odd or far-fetched for me. I'll read anything: flash fiction, sci-fi, your grocery list. If you are afraid to share a story with sane, normal people, then you can bet that I want in on it. That's what I consider the good stuff.

    Steve not only gave me interesting suggestions, but also told me what he liked, and did all this in a respectful writer-to-writer manner. He also added insights into how readers might feel and understand the points I was trying to get across. And, added to all that, he sent a supplement of Tips, Tricks, and Hacks which I appreciated. Stellar!

    I can't recommend Steve enough! His level of engagement and commitment with the project, even before we started working together, has made it for a smooth start as he built trust straight away (after 2 not so straightforward experiences with previous editors) I'm loving reading his suggestions, they're...

    Another satisfying experience. If you were a doctor, I'd say he has a good bedside manner so I guess he has a good pen and paper side manner.
