FAQ
What is the difference between alpha reading and beta reading?
Alpha reading provides early, big-picture feedback while your manuscript is still developing, focusing on plot, characters, structure, and story direction. Beta reading is usually for a more complete draft and focuses on the reader experience, pacing, clarity, engagement, and overall story impact.
What kind of feedback will I receive?
You will receive honest, constructive, and reader-focused feedback on plot, pacing, story flow, character development, character consistency, romance chemistry, emotional connection, tension, dark romance elements, confusing moments, plot holes, and overall reader engagement.
Do you edit or rewrite my manuscript?
No. This service focuses on alpha/beta reading and manuscript feedback, not proofreading, copyediting, line editing, or rewriting. I provide reader-focused observations and actionable suggestions while respecting your unique voice and creative vision.
Do you accept dark romance and mature themes?
Yes. This gig is specifically designed for dark romance manuscripts. I can provide professional, respectful, and reader-focused feedback on emotional intensity, character dynamics, romantic tension, chemistry, relationship development, and other genre expectations.
Will my manuscript remain confidential?
Yes. Your manuscript and author information will be treated as private and confidential. Your work will not be shared, published, or distributed.
What manuscript formats do you accept?
Please send your manuscript in the format specified in the gig requirements or package details. If you are unsure whether your file format is suitable, feel free to contact me before placing an order.
Can I contact you before placing an order?
