About this Gig
Most literary agents only read the first ten pages of a manuscript. And everyone knows the opening chapter is the key to grab any reader's attention. As a reader, I've read wonderful manuscripts but sadly with a confusing, boring, and, most importantly, unorganized opening chapter. This gig focuses only on the first few chapters to let fresh eyes see if it's interesting enough to proceed to the next chapters and finish the whole novel.
Kindly read the FAQs before placing an order. It's to clarify any issues regarding this gig. Looking forward to reading that killer opener!

FAQ
Do I read mature/sensitive content?
Yes, I read mature, adult, gore, sensitive etc content. All books are welcome!
Do I know both American and British English language? Can I differentiate between them?
Yes! The 'u' in colour isn't wrong!
Is your book safe with me? Am I reliable?
Yes, of course. I've worked with many clients, signed NDAs and they're very satisfied with my work.
Do I accept chapters with a specific word count?
No, there are no limits. A chapter can be as low as 500 words to more than 10000 words. It depends on the book. The price and delivery time will not change.
Will there be revisions?
I can provide revisions if necessary but with an extended time.
Will I publish the review on social media platforms?
Sadly, since Amazon Kindle is not available in my country, I'll not be able to provide reviews over there. However, if you want, I can publish the review and/or promote your book on your choice of social media platform such as Twitter, Facebook including Goodreads.
If something unfortunate happens, will I mutually cancel the order and let the client have a refund?
As I said, I'll be in touch and will give updates about my work; if any problems arise, I'll be glad to accept the order cancellation.
Will I buy the book to provide the review?
I'm sorry, this gig doesn't include buying your book.
Can I provide a sample of my work?
It's already given in the gig photos! My clients were very generous to share them.
What genres do I read?
I read all kinds of fiction. I can't choose a favorite genre. Just bring it on!

While I appreciate the timely delivery and a few inline comments, I was ultimately disappointed with the overall quality of this beta read. The main review document feels AI-generated or heavily AI-assisted—it follows a rigid, formulaic structure with generic praise, lacks specific textual engagement,...
