About this Gig
Vetted Pro
Based on my extensive international publishing success as a best-selling popular science author, and my extensive editorial experience, I will read your work with an expert eye for what works, what could be improved, and questions that I was left with after reading your work.
I will provide a constructive, discerning beta reader report, with my overall assessment on:
- Readability: here I address the development and flow of the narrative, points that dragged or were rushed, points where there was any confusion.
- Emotional impact and reader engagement: here I address how effectively the narrative engages the reader, in terms of key messaging, narrative pay-off, and general enjoyability.
My report will also include specific feedback on:
- Writing style
- Narrative development, and any obvious points of potential reader confusion
- Accessibility, while remaining grounded in the science being presented
Should you have any specific questions or points of uncertainty about your work, please feel free to include those in your order and I will address those in my report.

FAQ
What is your expertise as a popular science reader and editor?
I have published numerous acclaimed popular science and technical books. My popular science essays and articles have been featured in numerous venues, ranging from The Guardian to Psychology Today, from the New York Post to New Scientist.
What type of file do you require?
I can work with either a Word or PDF file. Unfortunately, I’m unable to work with cloud-sharing platforms such as Google Docs.
What can I expect when you deliver the critique of my work?
My Reader Reports vary in length depending on the complexity of the work and how much support I need to provide. As a minimum, my Reader Reports are 10+ pages. Each report will also provide examples of good writing for your genre, applied to the specifics of your writing material.
Do you use AI?
I do not use AI in any way. I am the only person reading your work and writing the reader report. My expertise and experience is what you are paying for. And that is what you will get!
What's your process in reading my work and preparing your report?
Depending on the length of your work, I will aim to read your piece in one (or more) sittings over consecutive days, compiling comments and reactions as I go. After reading, I spend several hours reviewing my comments and preparing the reader report. I usually work on one project at a time.
