About this Gig

Hi, I'm Izzy. I'm a beta reader and editor with extensive experience in romance. I offer honest, constructive feedback on your latest story to help you refine your plot, pacing, and emotional beats before you publish or query.


Each package includes a detailed reader report with my overall impressions, including thoughts on plot, flow, characterisation, and dialogue. My goal is to give you clear, helpful insights that strengthen your story while keeping your voice intact.


This gig focuses on beta reading, but you can add a proofreading extra for just $10 once you've selected your package. If you'd like a deeper edit alongside the beta read, please feel free to message me and we can arrange a custom offer.


I know how exciting (and a bit nerve-wracking!) it can be to share your romance novel for the first time. I'll always provide thoughtful, encouraging feedback no matter the level of heat to make the process as enjoyable and constructive as possible.


For manuscripts over 120,000 words or any specific requirements, please get in touch and I'll create a custom offer tailored to your project. I can't wait to read what you've written!

    Izzy got into my characters' minds and helped me develop them further, making the read better. She partnered w/the story, and it's better because of her insights. I recommend her for her Ch x Ch reports and suggestions. Her report treated me tenderly while she zeroed in on plot holes and voice consistency. Bravo Izzy! Awesome.

    I'm astonished by the level of detail included in Izzy Grace's beta read of my novella. Her reader report effectively identified what was working in the manuscript and gave actionable points for improvement. I will definitely be working with her again. Thank you!

    She gave me a well-thought-out and thorough review of my work, providing plenty of feedback that I can consider to improve my project. She was on time and professional with her orders, so there's not much I can say except that she's an excellent choice for a beta reader.

    I had a great experience working with Izzy--very thorough, with chapter by chapter thoughts and analysis. It was very helpful, seeing the ways a reader may (or may not) clock the various threads of progression. She clearly showed a deep understanding of the work, provided constructive notes, and did...
