About this Gig
Are readers going to fall in love with your characters as much as you hope they will?
After multiple drafts, it's hard to know if the chemistry feels natural, the emotional connection is strong enough, or if readers will stay invested in your characters.
As a beta reader and book editor, I provide honest, reader-focused feedback to help you see your contemporary romance novel through fresh eyes.
You'll receive feedback on:
- Character chemistry
- Relationship development
- Emotional impact
- Pacing and story flow
- Dialogue and readability
- Reader engagement
- Confusing or slow sections
I read contemporary romance, romantic comedy, small-town romance, friends-to-lovers, enemies-to-lovers, second chance romance, and other romance subgenres.
If you're looking for honest feedback from a real reader's perspective, I'd be happy to help strengthen your story.

FAQ
Do you use AI to read or review manuscripts?
No. Every manuscript is read entirely by me. I do not use AI to read, analyse, critique, or generate feedback on stories. Every comment, observation, and reader reaction comes from my personal reading experience as a reader and editor.
I'm nervous about sharing my manuscript. Will it remain private?
Yes. Your manuscript will be kept private and treated with complete confidentiality. I will never share, distribute, or use your work without your permission.
My story focuses heavily on romance. Can you specifically assess the relationship and chemistry?
Yes. If there are particular areas you'd like me to focus on, such as chemistry, romantic tension, emotional impact, pacing, or character development, let me know before I begin.
Will you only point out problems?
No. I highlight both strengths and weaknesses. You'll know what's working well in your story as well as the areas that may need improvement.
My manuscript is longer than your package limit. What should I do?
Send me a message with your word count and I'll create a custom offer for your project.
