I will alpha or beta read for you
About this Gig
Please reach out with questions before you order.
An alpha or beta read is an opinion on larger-scale story issues. This does NOT include edits, proofreading, line edits, or developmental edits.
I will read your story and offer feedback based on what you are looking for. If you have a questionnaire, I will answer those questions in addition to end-of-chapter comments.
How this works:
You choose your package.
I read the story and will write up thoughts for each chapter. Some chapters might not have issues. I will read for character development, plot, flow, pacing, tension, stakes, and story elements. These are the things you will get comments and suggestions for.
You can choose to add in in-line comments where I will comment directly about a sentence or paragraph rather than on the entire chapter.
My expertise is in fantasy, horror, science fiction, historical fiction, and romance but I am well-read in most genres. Please reach out with questions before you order.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.
FAQ
Will you edit AND Beta read?
No. These are two very different services and should NOT be combined as you will have changes to make after an alpha or beta read.
Can you edit/proofread for me after you beta read?
I can. But that is a separate service and separate order.
What if I don't like your suggestion?
You don't have to use my suggestions. You decide the final form of your story. :)
