I will professionally beta read and critique your romantasy
Professional wordsmith and relentless reader focused on your success
About this Gig
You don't know what you don't know, because you're too close to your own work.
I will:
- provide honest reader reactions
- check for inconsistencies, repetitiveness, wordiness, and redundancy (and suggest alternatives)
- think about your characters as much, or more, than you (really!)
- envision your world as you have written it, and help you bring it to life
Sample Read
I'll read 5,000 words or less. You get in-line commentary with actionable feedback.
Gentle Read
No shade if you are a tender soul. Writing is vulnerable labor and we're not all ready to accept the lashing that can come from an unrestrained readership. In this package, I'll hit on the big things and leave the details for another day. True progress often comes from baby steps, and I want to take those steps with you.
No Nonsense Read
I will comment on everything I see that is out of place, doesn't make sense, or that I have a question about, including if:
- your opening chapter gets my attention or if it needs major work
- your character is over-reacting
- you're using cryptic language
- you are being cliché
I wont be rude, but I wont hold back. You will get feedback that will elevate your manuscript to the next level of editing.

FAQ
Do you use Ai?
I do not. Ai will never replace the curiosity, lived-experience, or humanness that can only be produced by a live person. All the work I do for you will come from my own brain.
When Should I Use a Beta Reader?
I recommend you use a Beta Reader after you’ve completed your draft and have done at least one or more rounds of self-edits. Some writers prefer to approach beta readers after a full Developmental Edit has been completed.
What makes you different?
I will give you straight answers (but I will communicate with kindness). I work and live with integrity, so you know you’ll always be getting 100% authentic responses from me. I’ll also tailor my responses to you and what you ask for. This is about your work, not how I work.
Do you have any triggers?
No. I’m an avid reader across several genres, including horror.
Are there any genres you don't work with?
I will decline a manuscript that is of a religious nature, or a project meant for children. These areas are not my strength, and I would be doing the writer a disservice if I accepted a project within these genres.
