About this Gig

Hello authors!


Are you seeking an honest, experienced, and non-judgmental beta reader to provide feedback on your book and offer actionable suggestions? Look no further! You are at the right place.


Whether you're working on a romance, fantasy novel, memoir, young adult, or any other fiction or non-fiction genre, I'm here to provide a thorough and honest alpha or beta read to help bring out the best in your story.


What you'll get:

  • Reader reactions in real time ( I'll tell you where I swooned, sighed, or cringed)
  • Detailed notes on plot, pacing, character arcs, tension, and believability
  • Gentle flagging of clichés, inconsistencies, or why would they do that?
  • Suggestions to tighten up the story while keeping your unique voice front and center
  • Whether you're writing sweet, spicy, or somewhere in between, I'm here to help your romance land.


Let's make your story the best it can be! Order now, or message me with any questions.

    This is my first time using a beta reader. I will never use one again. She signed an NDA to not run my novel through AI, and she clearly did. I am not an idiot; I know AI when I see it. Also, the characters were wrongly named, and she mentioned things that didn't even happen in my story. I am so very...

    She was very thorough, and delivered in a timely manner. She provides great constructive criticism where needed and also let me know what is working. I will definitely provide her projects in the future.
