Summary
FAQs
What Makes You Qualified?
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.
Why should I consider receiving and alpha read?
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!
What's the difference between an alpha read and a beta read?
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!
What kind of editing style and feedback does your alpha reading include?
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.
What if my word count is different than what is listed here?
