I will beta read fiction manuscripts

I'll provide in-document commentary as I read your story, giving you my live reactions to your story, including any questions that I have as I go. I will also provide a reader report with my feedback on the story as a whole. My feedback will focus on elements such as story and plot, characters, and worldbuilding, giving you my honest impression of these things to help you see if you're accomplishing your goals and getting the reactions you want out of readers.

My style of critique is honest but positive. I want you to know what is working as much as what isn't working, to encourage you while pushing you to improve your craft. I believe it's important to respect you and your vision for the story, so while you can expect me to have lots of questions, thoughts, and maybe even suggestions, I'll never tell you what I think you should do with your story or try to change it to something that I might prefer. The story is yours; my job is just to tell you what I think of it as you have written it.
