I will professionally beta read your ms and offer honest feedback
Gig Summary
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)
Suggestions for improvement

Chris provided timely, relevant and detailed feedback. Their observations about my story were spot on, and helped me create a to-do list of exactly what I can do to restructure my story and what I need to add to it. They were eerily correct that it was a story where I was working out the world-building...

Helpful ideas, thoughtful comments. This is my third time working with Christina. I recommend her work to others, and plan to hire her again. She meets deadlines and provides useful feedback. She does developmental work not just a typical beta reading

Chris provides a fantastic beta reading service. She's great with understanding what makes a story work. Her profile states 'brutally honest feedback' - and that's exactly what I was looking for, as that's the most useful kind. She also answered some additional questions I had. 5 stars!
