About me
Welcome! I’m a professional editor, beta-reader, story outliner, and author, who has spent the last five years writing, editing, and reading creative fiction.

    Thank you so much to Sam for reading through my novel. I have been so nervous to have someone read it but also very excited. He made great comments and also provided areas of improvement. I can not wait to start working on my edits so that I can make my story even better. I will definitely utilize Sam again for my other books.

    This is the second time I have used Sam for beta reading. Each time he has shown his understanding of the characters in a way that many others haven't. His comments and suggestions have given me a great starting point for further revisions and editing. I highly recommend Sam!

    The commentary made it clear to me what I need to clarify in the story before I publish it. While some elements in my story he didn't like I feel are set in stone (the cast of 12, the supernatural elements), I will take his other ideas to heart.

    Sam is always great! He was able to identify the problems I had with this story and how it doesn’t connect to another story I thought it was the same story. What took me months to realize, took Sam only a few weeks. He is an amazing beta reader and I greatly value his opinion!
