About this Gig

As a writer myself, I know how hard it can be to find dedicated beta readers, and I'm here to help! I'll dive into your work with a fresh set of unbiased eyes and help you make the best choices for your piece.


I have written hundreds of critiques for new authors on writing sites such as Scribophile and Critique Circle and I found critiquing others' works vastly improved my own prose. You're helping ME out!


As a reader, I'll tell you what grabs my attention, if it's held onto, and what you might try to help your story meet your vision. We'll discuss character arcs, major thematic elements and clear up any confusing text so your story can shine!


I will include a detailed report broken down by sections and covering all technical writing needs of the piece and subjective thoughts about the story itself.


My pricing is based on word count, so please reach out for a custom quote!

    I gave Ben B an unedited version of my manuscript. He offered detailed criticisms and helpful suggestions to fix the issues within it. Most of the things I was concerned about were addressed and the advice he gave was as good as gold. He's absolutely right about everything he found, and he finished ahead...

    To be honest, I was out of town on a trip and used Ben as an alpha reader to direct my editing when I got back. It is my first book that showed to him. He pointed out errors and strengths without breaking professionalism. He was a bit annoyed that i have chapter outlines that haven't been written for...

    While some of the feedback I received was useful and helped highlight areas to strengthen, I found the overall professionalism lacking. The purpose of beta reading is to engage with the story as written, and to provide insight into how it lands with a reader. Unfortunately, too much of the feedback focused...
