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.
