I have beta read novels for several clients on Upwork and Fiverr and each project has earned me a five star review!
I have a template for beta reading where I highlight different aspects of each story such as plot, character development, pacing, themes, and prose.
Here are some of my reviews:
Alyssa's report really impressed me. It was very thorough, and I liked that she started off with a short summary to prove she truly read everything. She also highlighted the themes and tropes she noticed, which is extremely helpful to me as a writer who aims for traditional publishing, since it helps me hone down on the things I eventually want to highlight in my query letter. She also raised good questions about my characters and world building, which I'm definitely taking into account in my next draft. I would definitely hire Alyssa again!
"As a first-time customer of Upwork and a novelist, I was very pleased with the results. Alyssa's feedback was thorough, insightful, and helpful—very much appreciated. I will definitely choose her again in the future.
"Alyssa pinpointed several areas that needed some editing to improve the story. She was concise, helpful, and completed her assessment before it was due. I appreciate and value her comments and suggestions, and will definitely use her again!
Helping authors refine their work through beta reading has been a joy!
