Alpha / Beta ReadingMichael Jaymes
As your alpha reader, I provide feedback both as a reader and as a writing coach. This means that I speak about my experience reading your draft and provide professional editorial/writing advice throughout.
Whether you're writing fiction or nonfiction, alpha reading can help motivate you to keep writing, improving, and ultimately finish that book!
It can also be provided at your own pace. Alpha reading can be done on a chapter-by-chapter basis, or for finished manuscripts as well.
Unlike other editors/readers, I don't just point out errors; I guide and teach writers how to improve! The goal of my feedback is to help writers see their strengths and weaknesses and elevate their writing to the next level.
Reach out if you have questions or a project with a higher word count than what is listed.
What's included
Feedback Report for 5000 Word Edit
Each order includes:
Line-by-line comments throughout your manuscript
Editorial suggestions throughout your manuscript
Overview Analysis (reader report) for each chapter/section
Writing Advice
FAQs
I’ve published 3 books, helped many writers do the same, and have had clients go on to be featured in the news/magazines, reach Amazon’s best-seller list, and receive awards. I've also worked professionally alongside script and documentary writers for Netflix.
Having an alpha reader during/after the first draft helps ensure the manuscript doesn't have major issues. Some writers will rush to complete a book only to be discouraged when their editor says major changes are needed before publishing. An alpha read helps avoid this by catching mistakes early!
Alpha reading mainly focuses on plot, writing style, and execution, done (usually) during or immediately following the first draft. This helps your writing improve as you go and promises a cleaner draft. Beta reading typically focuses more on the reader experience and expectations within the genre.
Regardless of where you are in your process, we are happy to read and provide feedback! We love helping writers bring their vision to life!
My Alpha Reading is similar to receiving line edits and developmental editing all-in-one. The difference is that I focus my feedback around highlighting the most important suggestions I have to improve a manuscript as a whole. I also focus heavily on providing writing advice to help writers learn.
Please contact me before ordering, and I will send you a custom offer based on your specific word count.
