FAQ
What is the difference between beta reading and alpha reading?
Alpha reading is typically done during the early draft stage and focuses on major story elements. Beta reading is usually performed on a more polished manuscript and focuses on reader experience and overall effectiveness.
Do you provide proofreading or editing?
No. This service focuses on reader feedback and manuscript evaluation rather than line editing or proofreading.
What file formats do you accept?
I accept Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx), PDF, and Google Docs links.
Can you review nonfiction books?
Yes. I provide detailed feedback for both fiction and nonfiction manuscripts.
