I will beta read your horror story
About this Gig
Horror often falls prey to issues that readers later bring up, and a beta reader can help catch them before publication.
From monsters becoming too strong, logical inconsistencies, repetition, weak pacing, and a general inability to scare the reader, small problems can take away from the impact of a horror story.
This is where I can help.
I am a literature major who worked on horror-themed writing in my thesis and have worked on numerous horror short stories, horror books, horror novels, and monster ideas over the years.
As a horror beta reader, I provide honest, reader-focused feedback on your story. I can help identify problems with plot, pacing, character development, suspense, consistency, and the overall reading experience.
I can also help ensure your story creates the emotions you want from your readers. I have a depth of knowledge in the cosmology of monsters, the occult, supernatural stories, myths, and all things scary.
Whether you're working on a horror novel, supernatural story, monster novel, or short horror story, my beta read critique can help you strengthen the manuscript and improve its impact on readers.

FAQ
Will I fix any of the issues highlited?
No, this is not an editing service, but I can provide guidance on how to best improve your manuscript.
Why only horror?
It's something I excel at, so I want to limit my services to what I know best.
Is there a limit to how long my book can be?
Not really, but you will have to make realistic expectations for me when it comes to reading the manuscript. If it is over 60000 words, I will need the appropriate time to go over each chapter.
Can you read part of a book? just a chapter or two?
Yes, I don't mind if your manuscript is not ready yet. You can even just have be consult on a particular scene, characterization, introduction of a character, or simply ending possibilities.
Can you review my book on Amazon KDP?
No I cannot, that is not part of this service.
Do you use AI in your reviews/readings?
No I do not, that is why the time required is rather vague.
Do you hire people to read the book?
No I will be the one reading it, and providing constructive criticism on things like story, character intros, scene to scene consistency, monster design, character motivation, logic, overview of the dialogue and pacing.
Can I get faster delivery?
It depends, I can't finish a monster of a manuscript in a day or so no matter how much you pay me.
