About this Gig

*For trigger warnings, read the FAQ below*


You've spent months getting your vision into words; now it's my turn to polish them from a manuscript to a book!


I professionally beta read manuscripts for a top literary agency for nearly two years and earned my B.A. in Creative Writing. I specialize in young adult and middle grade stories, and I want to help your story get on those coveted bookshelves.


What I will do for beta reading:

  • Provide feedback on the plot (what I enjoy, what doesn't make sense)
  • Review characters for believability
  • Analyze the pacing, setting, POV, voice, and dialogue
  • Provide overall thoughts


These reviews will be written down in a report that I will send to you, along with corresponding page numbers of any large overlying inconsistencies or change in style. I don't


I valued my time with the literary agency, and I loved seeing the manuscripts I beta read for my assigned agent end up in bookstores 2-3 years later. I am an expert in the YA field and love watching the new upcoming authors share their favorite characters.


If you're ready to take your manuscript to the next level, I'm the reader to get it there.

    I have written so many reviews of Amber that I cannot count. She is worth any engagement you can send her way, from beta reading through editing of any type. She's great and worth every time I've hired her.

    Absolutely amazing, as always. I’ve used Amber six times now and I would recommend her every single time. The communication is always great, she’s reliable, and she has a deep understanding of what the story is trying to do, so the feedback is actually useful and actionable, not just generic comments. She...

    I had a great experience with Amber. The reader report she provided was very detailed, and gave a lot of genuine reactions to parts of the novel and also areas to improve pacing, characterization, and dialogue. I especially liked her focus on the science fiction aspect of my novel, and where it was believable or not. Thank you!

    Amber's feedback was so insightful, and the level at which she was engaged with my project was delightful. She really embraced the work and characters to give an honest beta review. I'm hiring her for additional work going forward.
