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.

    In a short period of time they beta read my lengthy first draft novel and provided extremely helpful notes and suggestions. We proceeded to the next step of editing notes which also proved extremely helpful. Their tone in delivering was easy to digest in that all suggestions were framed as exactly...

    Once again, J. Flowers provided feedback that helped me see what worked and what needs polished. It was exactly what I wanted from a beta reader. The level of detail was particularly helpful -- including discussions of the interaction of plot and character.
