I will be your gay lgbtq sensitivity beta reader
Level 2
Has met high performance criteria and has a proven track record for meeting client expectations.
About this Gig
I want to help you craft authentic gay and queer characters, as well as helping create a text that can be enjoyed by LGBTQ readers. I also offer honest constructive criticism of your opening, pacing, characters, plot, description, dialogue, and grammar. I am very happy to read anything from young adult to literary fiction to erotica.
Below are some examples of topics I discuss with writers:
- Realistic representations of gay sex and gay peoples attitudes to sex and relationships.
- What will be offputting or offensive to an LGBTQ reader.
- Whether homophobia is represented enough, sensitively, and realistically especially within a historical period or fantasy world.
- Understanding of trauma experienced by LGBT individuals and how this can affect their relationship to family and society.
- Representations of gay and queer culture and differences between the two, i.e. their relationship to identity politics.

Alex's beta read for my first MM Romance was fantastic. He was really honest which is rare and so helpful for me personally. His insights were spot on, and he gave me examples of exactly where I could implement changes. I appreciate not only his professionalism, but also that he met my deadline and was thorough with a great attention to detail.

Alex did a wonderful job reading through my manuscript and pointing out issues that might be problematic. I appreciate the feedback and highly recommend them for any type of beta reading an author might need for any LGBTQ+. I will be reaching out again in the future.
