I will beta read and critique of your manuscript

See FAQ for details about introductory pricing!

After months of revising your own manuscript, its hard to see the page clearly. A thoughtful outside reader can help you identify what's working, what's not, and where your story's impact can be strengthened.

I offer detailed manuscript critique that includes both moment-to-moment insight and feedback on the work as a whole. I analyze big-picture elements and the specific moments on the page where your writing shines or loses clarity.

My in-line comments throughout your manuscript will note patterns, questions, and craft-level observations as I read, while my reader report will summarize my overall impressions and key questions for revision.

I read across genres, and I'm happy to work with most content, though I prefer to avoid manuscripts that are heavily focused on graphic violence or horror.

While I have experience as a copy editor and may note recurring grammar or punctuation issues, this service is not a line edit or proofread. My goal is to help you understand how your story comes across with an attentive, engaged reader so you can revise with confidence.
