FAQ
What exactly is a beta reader, and how is it different from an editor?
A beta reader reads your manuscript the way a real reader would and gives feedback on the big-picture elements: plot, pacing, character development, dialogue, and emotional impact. I'm not correcting grammar line-editing sentences. If you need proofreading or copyediting, that's a separate service
What genres do you read?
I specialize in Romance, Dark Romance, Romantasy, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, Thriller, Mystery, Paranormal, YA, and Contemporary Fiction. If your manuscript blends genres, that's completely fine, just mention it when you message me.
How long will my beta read take?
Turnaround depends on your word count and the package you choose. Basic orders typically take 4 days, Standard 8 days, and Premium up to 14 days. Please message me before ordering so we can confirm a realistic timeline for your manuscript length.
What format should I send my manuscript in?
Word document (.docx) or Google Docs link works best, since it allows me to leave inline comments alongside your full feedback report. PDF is also acceptable, but less ideal for detailed notes.
Will you fix my grammar and typos?
No, beta reading focuses on story-level feedback, not line editing. I may flag a pattern if I notice recurring issues, but grammar correction isn't part of this service.
Do you sign an NDA or keep my manuscript confidential?
Yes. Your story stays completely confidential, and I'm happy to sign an NDA if you'd like one before I begin reading.
What will my feedback report actually look like?
You'll receive a written report covering strengths, weaknesses, pacing issues, character consistency, plot holes, and emotional engagement, plus practical suggestions for revision. Higher tiers include chapter-by-chapter reaction notes and a revision priority list.
