I will beta read and provide feedback on your story or novel

If your piece falls between the packages or exceeds 80k, send me a message with the exact word count, and I'll reply ASAP with a Custom Offer that will save you money. I do not offer "Milestone" projects. You will need to pay for the entire order upfront.

I prefer a Word document (.doc or .docx) so that I can turn on "track changes," and you can easily follow my comments and suggestions. I can work with a PDF if needed, but this limits my ability for proofreading and stylistic edits. I do not work with Google Docs or any other form of cloud-sharing.

Not at all, although if you'd like to give me a heads-up, that's fine.

I do not accept chapters one by one in a single order. I need the entirety of the piece you want me to beta-read when the order is placed. Alternatively, we can arrange for separate orders. For example, the first order can include Chapters 1 and 2; the second order, Chapters 3 and 4; and so on.

No. I prefer to work with the piece you sent me. After I return your piece, you can always rework it and then resubmit it to me as a new order.

Of course! I know works in progress will likely go through many drafts, so whether it's a week later or a year later, you're welcome to purchase a second round of reading. I'm happy to be your fresh pair of eyes!

You'll receive a copy of your manuscript with easily identifiable in-line edits and comments, along with a Reader Report. The Reader Report typically consists of about 3 to 6 pages for 39,000 words or less and about 5 to 7+ pages for 40,000 words or more.

I do NOT speed-read; I read every word personally. I use AI (Gemini/Grammarly) to polish my notes, catch consistency issues, and audit for plot holes. This "human-led, AI-augmented" check ensures high-quality, professional feedback. I vet and finalize every word I send.

I work 3 to 4 hours daily, Monday through Friday. I read, edit, and comment on 2,000 to 4,000 words per hour. After reading, I spend 2 to 6 hours reviewing my comments and preparing the Reader Report. I usually work on one project at a time. I offer clients brief progress updates every 5 to 10 days.

After I deliver your order and you have had a chance to review my comments, you can contact me again. I'll set up a "Custom Offer" for a writer-directed follow-up: you can provide me with a list of questions to answer via Word doc, or we can video chat via Fiverr's Zoom platform.
