About this Gig

Are you looking for a reliable beta reader?

I help authors bring out the best in their books. I have been beta-reading since 2019.

I will beta-read your story and provide honest and actionable feedback. I pay attention to opening lines, character development, pacing, tone, level of engagement in each chapter, central conflict/resolution, character motivation, and overall reader experience. My critique will be honest and constructive.


I enjoy reading;

  • Romance
  • Fantasy
  • Magical realism
  • Women's Fiction
  • Thrillers/Mystery
  • Literary fiction
  • YA
  • Middle-grade fiction
  • Non-fiction
  • True crime


My critique will focus on a story's elements, with in-line comments and a comprehensive reader report. I will give your story a personal touch by connecting with the characters. I look forward to being part of your success story.


I will be your sensitivity reader concerning infertility based on firsthand experience.

Message me or place your order.

Note: I don't read poetry!

    For my project, Helen made real time comments in the margins of the manuscript. That allowed me to see her reactions, gauge her interest and know that she’d read every page. Her report was honest and thorough. She took time to point out details where the writing could be improved. This was a great and...

    Helen was polite and made an effort to understand the brief and what stood out was she was honest about the entire engagement throughout. This made it easier for me to work with her and get the desired results. Recommend her your beta reading plans.

    I couldn't be happier with the beta read I received from Helen. My manuscript is over 95,000 words, and I expected the process to take longer, but she completed it in just 14 days, which was ahead of schedule. What really impressed me was how thorough her feedback was. She didn't just provide a general...

    Never skip beta reading! If you’re self publishing or send your work out to query etc., always include beta readers in your process! Helen is so good at it. She reads it herself she doesn’t feed your story to AI) and gives you a full report on things such as first sentence/page/chapter as well as the...
