About this Gig
I am an avid reader of romances. I will beta read your romance book and give you feedback on the writing, and flow of your book.
Don't leave your romance book to trial and error in the market.
And stop making your friends and family read your book! They either don't want to hurt your feelings, or they don't have time to read your book. So, don't bother. Save your friendships and family relationships.
Publish your romance book or fanfiction with confidence without any glaring errors, or obvious plot holes.
Get the good, bad, and the ugly about your book.
If you are not happy with my services, get your money back!
Contact me if you have any special needs or questions. I am always happy to work with you.
Please do not send in any non-romances without contacting me first. This is for both your and my benefit! Thank you!
Also, please read the FAQs before sending me any messages and read the gig information.

FAQ
Do you beta read horror, thrillers, or mysteries?
No, that is not my area of interest.
Do you read paranormal romances?
Yes, that is actually one of my favorite subgenres.
Will my work remain confidential?
Yes, all manuscripts remain confidential throughout the entire process and afterward as well. I do not need to nor do I want to steal your work. If you have any doubts, please do not submit your work. This environment requires trust for the best results and less stress on both parties.
What if my work is incomplete? Will you still read it?
Sure, just let me know in the order that the manuscript is incomplete and what stage you are at. The more communication the better. It allows me to write you a better reader report knowing that you did not plan to leave your readers with some odd cliffhanger.
My book is longer than 100,000 words. Can you still read it?
Message me with a summary of your book and the word count of your book. I can create a custom order for you.
Do you read non-romance books?
I mainly read romance books. But message me with the summary of your book, word count, and overall genre. I might still be interested in reading your book.
Do you read haram or reverse haram subgenre?
No, that is not an area that I have much interest in.
Do you read LGBTQ+ romances?
No. I am not comfortable reading LGBTQ+ romances as the main romance. Side romances with LGBTQ characters are fine though as I don't need to analyze those in depth.
Do you do Alpha Reading?
Yes, I do. Just let me know ahead of ordering.
What does a Beta Reader do?
A beta reader is a fresh pair of eyes on your manuscript that gives you the reader's perspective before you put it out on the market. They point out areas that need work but they are not there to fix/ re-write your manuscript. They tell you spots that get confusing, if your characters are flat, etc.

As always, it was great working with Shika. She always gives good feedback that help me make my book better. She sees things I missed and when she points them out, I realize out that’s probably what hasn’t been working for her story. I will always use her services for the first read of my manuscript as long as it’s available.
