I will be your romance novel beta reader and give honest reader feedback
About this Gig
I read a lot of romance novels, slow burn, enemies to lovers, second chance, dark romance, small town, contemporary, historical, you name it. As your romance beta reader I read your manuscript like a real reader, then give honest, detailed feedback on what is working and what is not.
What you get in your reader report:
- Pacing and plot feedback
- Character development notes
- Chemistry and romantic tension check
- Notes on where I got bored or fully hooked
- A clear list of the biggest fixes to focus on first
I am not a copyeditor and this is not a developmental edit. I do not fix grammar or line edit. This beta reading service is big picture manuscript feedback on the reading experience, not commas. If you are a self-published or indie author who wants honest reader feedback before publishing or querying agents, this gig is for you.
How it works:
- Send your manuscript, subgenre, and any tropes
- Tell me what you are unsure about
- I read the whole book and take notes
- You get a written reader report with honest feedback
- Message me anytime with follow up questions
Message me before ordering so I can confirm word count and turnaround work for your romance novel

FAQ
Do you edit grammar and spelling too?
No, I focus on story, not sentence level mistakes. If you also want line editing or proofreading, message me and I can point you to the right service or we can talk about adding it.
What romance subgenres do you read?
Contemporary, small town, dark romance, historical, enemies to lovers, second chance, and most tropes in between. If you are not sure your book is a fit, message me your subgenre before ordering.
How long does it take to get my feedback?
It depends on your word count. Shorter manuscripts move faster, longer ones need more time so the report is actually useful. Turnaround for each package is listed in the pricing tiers
Will you tell me the truth even if it is not what I want to hear?
Yes. I will always be kind about it, but the point of hiring a beta reader is honest feedback, not a pat on the back.
Do you keep my manuscript private?
Yes. I do not share, copy, or discuss your work outside of our project. If you want a signed NDA before sending your file, just ask.
What if my book has spicy or explicit content?
That is fine, romance often does. Let me know the heat level upfront so I know what to expect going in.
Can I ask follow up questions after I get my report?
Yes. You can message me anytime if something in the feedback needs more explanation.
What format should I send my manuscript in?
Docs, Word document or PDF both work. Just make sure the file is complete and free of major formatting issues before sending.
