About this Gig
Hi! I'm Bridget, a professional beta reader, book editor, and fantasy writer, with 4 years of experience. If your draft feels almost there, but you want real reader feedback on what's working, what's confusing, and where the pacing or tension drops, I would love to help you see your story through fresh eyes while staying true to your voice.
You'll receive:
- Big-picture reader feedback on plot, pacing, and overall engagement
- Notes on character likability, motivation, and relationships
- Scene-level feedback on what's working and what needs more clarity
- Highlights of confusion points, slow sections, and strongest moments
- Comments in your document, plus a clear reader-style report to guide your revisions
I specialize in fantasy, romantasy, paranormal, urban fantasy, YA, dystopian, and horror (and I'm happy to work with other genres too!).
* I'm comfortable working with adult content, including dark themes, violence, and explicit romance. *
Not sure what you need? Send me your blurb, word count, and what you're hoping to achieve, and I'll happily point you to the best fit.
Thank you and happy writing!
Bridget

FAQ
What does your beta reading include?
You’ll receive honest, detailed, and kind feedback on plot, pacing, characters, voice, tension, worldbuilding, romance dynamics, clarity, and overall reader experience.
Do you edit grammar?
No, my beta reading focuses on story-level feedback, not grammar. If you need stylistic, copy editing, or proofreading, I offer those services separately and would be happy to help!
What genres do you specialize in?
I specialize in fantasy, romantasy, urban fantasy, paranormal, YA/NA, and horror, but I’m happy to read most fiction genres.
How long will my feedback report be?
I love to be very detailed! Depending on your package, expect 1–5+ pages of notes, plus in-document comments throughout the story as I read through.
Will you tell me if something isn’t working?
Absolutely! But always kindly. I highlight what’s already strong and what could be strengthened, without ever being harsh.
How do I choose the right package?
Please message me with your word count and what you’re looking for. I’ll recommend the best option and create a custom offer if needed!
If I’ve written a series, can you edit the entire thing?
Absolutely! I’d love to work with you across multiple books. If you let me know ahead of time that your project is part of a series, I can create a custom order with a discount. Just send me a message so we can plan the best approach for your series!
Can I ask follow-up questions after delivery?
Of course! I’m happy to answer questions or clarify feedback.
Will my manuscript stay private?
Always. Your story remains completely confidential, and I never share projects publicly.
Are you comfortable with mature, dark, or violent content?
Yes, I’m comfortable with mature, dark, violent, and romantic themes.

Bridget is a great beta reader. She helped me identify whether areas I was concerned about were working or not. She gave me insightful feedback and was clearly invested in the story. I will definitely be ordering again in the future. There is no substitute for a human reader, and I can say with confidence...

Bridget was very responsive and put a lot of time and effort into the beta reading. She read through my story twice, the second time adding comments and then sending me a thorough summary. She pointed out areas that didn't flow well, places that needed a bit extra, and world-building tips. She also added...

Very energetic and cheerful to work with. She pointed out every flaw if something wasn't coherent and came with good suggestions on to how improve. Also she has been encouraging when she found out some embarrassing mistakes I should have noticed. I struggled for years to find a reliable critique partner...
