My professional beta reading services will assist in improving your manuscript, utilizing positive feedback with gentle honesty that will always maintain your unique author voice.

When reviewing a manuscript, I actively ask myself in-depth questions like:

How does the writing make me feel?

Is the pacing too fast/slow?

Does this dialogue seem natural?

How do I feel about this character?

Does this character's action seem out of character?

Would this be confusing to a reader?

Could the setting be more descriptive? Is the world immersive?

I offer in-document comments so that you receive a beta reader's impressions while reading your work. I also provide a 1-page reader report with a summary of my thoughts on your work. In the report, I focus on the big picture: my overall thoughts, the strengths, and weaknesses, etc.

I can beta read:

Fantasy/Sci-Fi I Fiction I Nonfiction I Historical I Romantic I Etc

Short Stories I Novels I Children's Books

Things to consider: I need to be given a copy of the manuscript (google doc preferred)

I so look forward to reading your work. Cheers!
