About this Gig

As an author with a publication contract for a traditionally published novel, I understand the importance of having a beta reader you can trust, and I want to be that beta reader for you.


All packages will include in-text comments and a reader report of approximately 1-2 pages.


When I read, I examine your manuscript for several key components, including:

  • Writing mechanics (grammar, punctuation, formatting, etc.)
  • Tone and voicing
  • Plot and pacing
  • Character development
  • Worldbuilding
  • Strengths, weaknesses, and areas of improvement
  • And more!


If you have specific requests or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. I strive to give thoughtful, manageable critiques, and I'm happy to work together to ensure that my services will help where you want it most!


Please note: I prefer to use Word or Google Docs, and I am adamantly against the use of AI when providing feedback.

Genre:

Horror/ thriller

Language:

English

Delivery style preference

Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

    Not just leaving a great review here to be polite, but because I genuinely received a thorough, detail-filled reader's report and line comments. Dr. CJ went above and beyond, and I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

    This beta reader is a rare talent with admirable attention to detail. They even inadvertently picked up on some of the lore that was previously cut. The suggestions they made were spot on. With pin-point accuracy they even found the resolution to a problem sentence I'd failed to solve alone. If you want...

    I originally thought my debut novel would be horror, and even though it turned out to be closer to dark fantasy instead, CJ still did a fantastic job with reviewing the work professionally as a beta reader. His turn around time was quick, his analysis and comments had plenty of attention to detail, and...

    Dr. CJ did a great job reading and suggesting additions to my book. Many of them will make it into my next draft. He's very professional, and his 2-page deliverable helped me recognize what works and what I need to work on.

    Excellent job all round. The report was very specific and outlined areas for improvement, giving me a thorough guide for the next draft. CJ has extensive knowledge of the English language, grammar and correct formatting of a document which was a big help. Recommended.
