About this Gig
Vetted Pro
- You must message me before ordering.
Getting ready to click the publish button on your new book? Not so fast.
Before you send your book out into one of the most competitive markets, consider getting a final critique.
I'm a self-published and traditionally published author, including a bestselling middle-grade detective series and young adult romance series. I'm also a voracious reader. Stories are my passion.
Let me put that passion to work for you by reviewing your story, plot, pacing, character development, world-building, consistency, and more!
I will read your book and deliver straightforward and actionable feedback you can use to improve the final version of your book. I focus on giving useful advice over artificially lengthy and wordy reports, so don't expect 20 pages of ChatGPT platitudes and cliches.
Publish with confidence!
Confidentiality Statement:
I will never share the contents of your work without your express
permission.

FAQ
Do you have a content policy?
I accept almost anything when it comes to fiction, but there are exceptions. Things like extreme gore/torture, romanticizing pedophilia, overt modern political propaganda, etc. It is your responsibility to disclose content before ordering. Orders that violate this policy will be canceled.
What is your revision policy?
Revisions on my orders are very rare. However, I do offer one for free. For the second revision and beyond, you will be charged a fee for each, with the amount depending on the size of your order and the extent of the revision.
How long are your reports?
They are generally 1-2 pages, depending on factors such as the length of the manuscript or the number of issues needing to be addressed in the report. I focus on broader issues and feedback in my beta reading reports, to keep things concise. For in-depth feedback, consider developmental editing.
Is this a developmental edit?
This gig is for a report only, similar to what one might find as a thorough review on Amazon, except from an author/editor perspective. For a full developmental edit, check out my developmental editing gig! A development edit is much more in-depth than a beta read.
Do you beta read really long novels? If so, what is the rate for those?
Most of my projects are full-length novels. To keep things simple, the price listed is based on the rate per 1,000 words. For example, if your manuscript is 101,450 words long, just multiply the rate by 102 to get your estimated total. Message me to confirm.
Do you beta read non-fiction?
Possibly. Message me.
Will you beta read my memoir?
I do not currently accept memoirs.
Will you sign my NDA?
I will not, for several reasons: Your book is likely already protected. I have a statement of confidentiality in my gig that covers sharing information. I would have to consult my lawyer, and his rates are unfortunately higher than mine. They simply aren't standard, and there's no need for them.
Do you use AI or other writing tools?
I do not use AI for any of my feedback gigs. You are paying for my professional advice, and that's what you'll receive.

He responded when I was half panicked and elated at finishing my first-ever draft. His feedback helped immensely, and his ability to see the shape of what I was trying to do and help me create it is invaluable.

Mr. Brogath reviewed my 99,000 word sci fi thriller and provided two pages of narrative feedback. While brief, the feedback was very constructive and actionable. He has a good understanding for what makes a story work.
