Beta-Read and Feedback Creative Work

About this service
Summary
For this service, I will read the Client's text thoroughly, noting areas of improvement, as well as areas of the text I feel worked really well - I know how difficult it is to read a document of ways one can improve without knowing what aspects of the writing process you have done well.
After reading the project thoroughly, I shall create a document of my thoughts, suggestions, and criticisms of the text provided, focusing primarily on areas requested by the Client. I will endeavour to avoid vagueness, going as in-depth as I possibly can - the work and the Client deserve that much. I will also provide a copy of the project with my in-line suggestions and comments so that the Feedback/Criticism Document will not stand in isolation.
Depending on how far into development the project is, my feedback will take into consideration any deadlines the Client/project may have - in other words, I will not suggest massive wholesale changes if you are unlikely to be able to do these in the time required (unless you have requested so, that is.) On the flip side of this, if the text is in a very nascent stage, I will not focus too much on grammar/punctuation errors UNLESS it is a common mistake.
What's included
Original Document
Client will receive their original document with any in-line comments/suggestions.
A Detailed Feedback Sheet
Client will receive a document containing feedback and criticism of their creative project. This will be as in-depth as possible, depending upon the project provided, and will focus on any particular aspect of the text the Client requests. This is to ensure that my feedback and criticism is helpful, relevant, and actionable - no vagueness or generalisations.
