About this Gig

**Currently booking into August. NOTE: I am away September so pre-book if needed please**


I'm a professional beta reader specializing in Fantasy, Romantasy, Sci-Fi, and Romance for YA, New Adult, and Adult fiction. I'm an agented, published author represented by Spencerhill Literary and a seasoned story analyst with over a decade of experience in publishing and entertainment.


My beta reads focus on both reader engagement and story craft, helping you understand how your book lands emotionally while identifying areas that may cause confusion, pacing issues, or reader drop-off. 100% human feedback I do NOT use AI.


With my beta read, you'll receive:

  • A detailed reader report covering strengths, weaknesses, and clarity issues
  • Honest but encouraging feedback on characters, plot, pacing, worldbuilding, and emotional impact
  • Authentic reader reactions (where I was hooked, confused, or emotionally invested)
  • Optional in-line comments (package dependent)


Genres I Love:

  • Fantasy (Epic, Urban, Dark, Cozy)
  • Romantasy (slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, spicy)
  • Sci-Fi (Dystopian, grounded)
  • YA & New Adult Fiction


Feel free to message me with any questions or to see if I'm the right fit for your project

Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

    I'm a repeat customer. Amy is exceptional to work with. She really goes above and beyond and cares. As a writer herself, she knows exactly what to look for to help improve, voice, setting, world building, tension, pace etc and far exceeds expectations when it comes to beta-reading services. I wouldn't...

    Fantastic experience. If I'm going to be in the market for a beta read in the future, I'll be reaching back out again. The feedback felt encouraging while being honest, and highlighted both the good and the bad while never overselling either.

    Amy was responsive, quick, and wonderful to work with. Her feedback was detailed and extremely useful for polishing my novel. She paid very close attention to detail and provided thoughtful and insightful comments throughout her beta read. 10/10 would recommended and I will be a returning client!
