About this Gig

I believe that every person has a book worth writing down, and I believe that there are no "bad" manuscripts--only manuscripts that will need some more work. I endeavor to provide you with the exact kind of feedback that I would want from a beta reader: specific, constructive, thorough, and encouraging.


I've provided feedback on hundreds of manuscripts (that gig is now in the proofreading section of Fiverr: a bundled proofreading and beta feedback gig), and I've worked with memoirs, fantasy, academic papers, romance, and just about every genre you can think of.


For fiction works, I provide comprehensive and constructive feedback on general impressions, characters, the writing, and the plot.


For non-fiction works, I focus on the structure, clarity of information, the writing, author credibility, and reader retention.


For all works, I compile lists of my favorite lines and themes I noticed while gauging reader engagement throughout the reading experience.


If you have any questions, shoot me a message! I'll get back to you as soon as I can.


Thanks for checking out my gig! I hope to work with you soon.

    I thought he did a really good job, giving me report that I needed showing how he was affected when he read the novel and showed me the section that he thought were too slow, which agrees with other readers.

    As usual. J didn’t disappoint. He gave me really valuable insights that helped my manuscript be better than its current state. And I’ll definitely be getting him again to beta read my future works.
