I will tear apart your book and help you put it back together
About this Gig
What I offer: Beta reading that's closer to what you'd get with a high-priced developmental edit. I'll find what isn't working, why it isn't working, and how you can improve your manuscript. I also know when not to comment. If something's working, I won't say it's not just to make it appear as if I've 'worked harder.' A good beta knows when to say nothing at all.
I'll focus on:
My connection to the character (Am I rooting for them?)
Lack of tension/conflict in pages (Am I bored?)
Story arc (Am I satisfied?)
Info dumps (Am I yawning?)
Plot holes (Am I confused anywhere?)
Descriptions (Am I immersed?)
Why pick me: Because I care about you and your writing journey.
What you'll get:
HONEST but kind In-line comments.
Real-time reactions
Corrected dialogue tags/action beats
Corrected grammar/syntax (if I spot them)

Adult- Thriller, mystery, crime, romance, sci-fi, fantasay, erotica Young adult- thriller, mystery, rom-com, romance, sci-fi, fantasy, spec Middle grade welcomed too!
Will you answer any questions I have about your comments?
Of course! I'm here for you. If you need clarification, please ask.
Do you offer additional services?
If you are looking to be traditional published I also offer query and synopsis reviews with 1 free revision.
Can I re-book once I've fixed any issues?
Of COURSE! I would love to reread your work. After a few reads, my eyes will become less sharp, so I wouldn't recommend more than three times so it's best not to use any one beta reader more than that.
Are you really an agented author?
YES! I am. I've been agented for almost a year and am currently on submission with my debut, YA contemporary novel. I'm hoping to change my title to published author in the next year or two. :)

Chris did an amazing job of doing exactly what was advertised. I was looking for feedback that I couldn't find from family, friends, or reddit groups. They tore apart my book, almost line by line. They edited small things, suggested changes, found plot holes and weaknesses. I have a lot to go over and...
