About this Gig
Hello Esteemed Storyteller,
You've spent months building a world that vanished long ago, or one that only lives in your head, and getting the history right, the voice right, takes real work.
But once the manuscript's done, doubt creeps in. Does the setting feel real or just researched? Does your YA character sound like a teen, not an adult remembering being one? Is the pacing dragging somewhere you can't spot? After months inside your own story, it's hard to see it clearly.
As a beta and alpha reader for historical fiction and YA, I read your manuscript like your future readers will, and tell you the truth.
You'll get:
- Honest notes on plot, pacing, structure
- Real reader reactions
- A check on historical authenticity
- A check on YA voice and tone
- Plot holes and confusing scenes
- Clear notes to sharpen flow
I respect your voice. My job is to strengthen your story, not rewrite it.
Send your manuscript, let's make it unforgettable.

FAQ
What's the difference between alpha reading and beta reading?
Alpha reading is for early, rougher drafts, I focus on big picture issues like plot structure and character arcs. Beta reading is for more polished manuscripts closer to publishing, where I focus on reader experience, pacing, and how the story lands with an actual audience.
Do you check historical accuracy, or just story elements?
I read for how believable and immersive your setting feels to a reader, not as a fact-checker or academic researcher. If something pulls me out of the story because it feels off for the time period, I'll flag it so you can decide if to research further or adjust.
Will you tell me if my YA character sounds too adult?
Yes, this is one of my main focus areas. I read specifically for if your protagonist's voice, decisions, and dialogue feel authentic to their age, not like an adult author's voice bleeding through. If something reads too mature or too simplified for the age group, I'll point out exactly.
