FAQ
What is the difference between alpha and beta reading?
Alpha reading happens while you are still drafting or just finished—I focus on the "bones" (plot and logic). Beta reading is for finished drafts to see how a target reader reacts to the "skin" (emotion and flow).
Do you offer both alpha reading and beta reading?
Yes! I offer both alpha reading and beta reading to ensure your manuscript is polished from big-picture story structure to small details.
Can you read more than 60k words?
Absolutely! Please message me for a custom offer if your manuscript is a "chonky" fantasy epic or an extensive life story.
What format do you prefer?
Google Docs is best for live inline comments, but I am happy to use "Track Changes" in Microsoft Word.
How will I receive your critique?
You get a manuscript with inline comments and a detailed report with constructive feedback on your YA romantasy, memoir, or other genres.
Why should I choose you over other beta readers?
With 3+ years of experience, I provide detailed, constructive feedback for romance, fantasy, thriller, horror, fanfiction, and more—human, not AI.
What genres do you beta read and critique?
I provide detailed, constructive feedback for fiction such as romance, fantasy, thriller, horror, fanfiction and non fiction such as memoir and self help manuscripts
