About this Gig
Please message me before ordering, thanks.
Looking for a beta reader? I'm here to help!
As an avid reader with experience in beta reading, I know it can be scary for authors to share their work to someone they don't know. I also know how thankful an author is when they get a fresh set of eyes giving them the detailed feedback they need.
I read most genres, but some of my favourites are:
- Historical fiction
- Contemporary
- Romance
- Mystery/Crime (includes cozy mysteries)
- Thriller
- Fantasy
- Adult
What I will comment on:
- How I felt about your manuscript
- Is the story paced well?
- Characters (Are they developed well? Are they believable? etc.)
- Relationships
- World building
- Narrative summary (are you using too much that it sometimes feels like an info dump?)
- Plot
- Beginnings and endings
- Dialogue
- POV (Is your character's voice distinctive?)
- Style
- And more!
I don't just give constructive criticism, I will also let you know what I liked about your piece. I believe this is a lot more helpful to a writer instead of solely focusing on what doesn't work for me.
Contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you.
Please send complete MS only.
