About this Gig
Are you looking for honest feedback on your latest book? Would you like your beta reader to be a full-time author and a passionate reader?
I will beta read your manuscript and offer you constructive feedback on all aspects of the book, including the opening, characters, plot, consistency, and pacing.
You will receive a detailed report with actionable comments and suggestions that will help you get the best out of your story.
I enjoy reading most genres, including crime, thriller, sci-fi, fantasy, comedy and humorous, romance, mystery, adventure, YA and middle-grade, memoirs and autobiography. I also enjoy beta reading self-help/self-improvement books and anything on health and well-being.
I'm happy to give custom quotes for any length of manuscript, including small sections of the book where you've hit a roadblock and you could use a second opinion.
Get in touch and let me know how I can help. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.

Wow! Thrilled with Martin's feedback. His reading of my characters was spot on as was his grasp of the overall intentions of the novel. Suggestions for areas of tightening were clear and concise. Delivery landed ahead of schedule. Well priced. Looking forward working with Martin again in future.

Ongoing collaborationThe review was detailed and confirmed a few things I was concerned about myself and made some useful suggestions, such as adding more conflict. It also reasured me about the things I was getting right. The length and detail of the review was excellent value for money.
