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.

    J. Flowers provided a detailed and thoughtful critique with clear engagement in the characters, worldbuilding, and emotional dynamics. Their notes were thorough and showed genuine investment in the story, and I’ll be using several of their insights as I revise. They were communicative, professional,...

    J Flowers' beta Read on my middle grades novel was spot on. I appreciate that he pointed out what I did well as a writer and of course those areas that need further development or condensing. He answered the big picture questions I had with detail and examples. I will definitely be using his services again.
