2nd time using Shelby! So happy with her critical thinking feedback. She applies herself to the material and there’s absolutely no use of AI!
About this Gig
I would love to help you improve your novel! Whether you are in the early stages of writing or deep in the editing trenches, I'm happy to provide feedback on your novel from the perspective of a fellow reader. I have a BA in English, I love stories, and I've been an avid reader and writer for years. We can tailor the gig to your needs, and you're free to shoot me any questions before committing to a project together.
I'll provide you with kind but honest feedback on your fiction work.
This will include:
-Pacing
-Clarity
-Character
-Plot holes
-Prose/phrasing
-General thoughts
Each package includes a personalized letter explaining my feedback, and in-line comments throughout your story. I'm also available for trial runs, where I will provide feedback on two chapters before you commit to a full project together. If you want to know how your work is perceived by the reader, I would love to work together!
If you have a project larger than 85k words, reach out for a custom offer.

FAQ
What file format should my book be in?
A .docx file with comments enabled or a Google doc share link (I will be making comments directly in the document) PDF is not ideal, but acceptable. In that instance, comments will be provided in a separate doc file organized by chapter and page number.
What if my book is over the word limit?
Shoot me a message, and depending on the length we might be able to work something out.
Do you correct grammar mistakes/typos?
Light grammar fixes are included, but not the main focus. If something major catches my eye I'll point it out, but I don't do exhaustive corrections for grammar. However, if that is a service you're interested in, reach out before purchasing a package and we can tailor the gig to your needs.

Ongoing collaborationMy book was finished and I was looking for a review. Shelby's feedback was so good I called the printer and literally stopped the presses just in the nick of time. I made revisions and got a new manuscript to the printer and with just the small changes I made, my book is so much better.

Shelby responded very quickly to my order request, and gave me an update when she was halfway through my novel. Her report was very thorough, covered all my concerns and more, which has been very helpful in knowing what areas I need to focus on with my revisions. She gave me honest criticisms while still being polite. I highly recommend!
