FAQ
What's the difference between a beta reader and an editor?
Great question! An editor focuses on line-level corrections, grammar, and technical fixes. I focus on the reader's experience, plot, pacing, characters, and emotional impact. Think of me as your test audience before you invest in professional editing.
Do you proofread or copy edit?
I'll flag major, repeated errors or confusing sentences, but my primary focus is big-picture feedback. If you spot a typo in my feedback, feel free to ignore it, I'm here for your story, not grammar perfection.
Will you be mean about my writing?
Never. I'm honest but kind. My goal is to help you improve, not discourage you. I'll always highlight what's working before addressing what needs work.
How do I send my manuscript?
Google Docs is preferred because it's easiest for in-line comments, but I also accept Microsoft Word and PDF. Just share the link or upload the file after ordering.
What if I don't agree with your feedback?
That's totally fine! Feedback is subjective. Take what's helpful and leave what's not. I'm just one reader offering my honest perspective, you're always the final decision-maker for your story.
Can you read work that's not in English?
yes, I read manuscripts not written in English.
Do you offer rush delivery?
Absolutely! Contact me before ordering, and I'll see if I can accommodate your timeline.
What information do you need from me?
just your genre, word count, target audience, and any specific concerns you have. The more you tell me, the more targeted my feedback will be!
