Do you write dark, atmospheric, moody romance with complex characters, sizzling tension, and magical intrigue? Then I am your exact target audience.
If you are looking for a reader who truly understands the delicate balance of a spine-chilling atmosphere and intense emotional stakes, you are in the right place. I am a passionate lifelong reader specializing in the darker, more speculative corners of the romance world. I don't just read your book, I immerse myself in your world and develop genuine attachments to the people and places within.
FAQ
Are there any tropes/themes that you do NOT read?
To ensure I give the highest quality feedback, I focus exclusively on stories where the primary, central romantic relationship is M/F. I am happy to read manuscripts that include LGBTQIA+ sedcondary characters or subplots, however. I also do not read non-fiction, sci-fi, or contemporary non-romance.
What format will my feedback be delivered in?
You will receive a comprehensive Reader Questionnaire tracking my genuine reactions as a reader. It will break down my thoughts about your story's pacing, character development, romantic chemistry, world-building, clarity, and an honest assessment of its strengths and areas for growth.
Do your packages include a second read-through after I make revisions?
No, my standard packages cover a single, comprehensive read-through of your current draft. If you revise your manuscript after my initial read and would like a second round of beta reading, please message me for a discounted "re-read" custom rate.
What is your policy regarding AI?
I only accept human-authored manuscripts and I do not utilize AI tools in my reading and reviewing process.
