About this Gig

"Useful criticism ultimately leaves us with a feeling of relief, it ultimately leaves us with one more puzzle piece for our work." - Julia Cameron 


Three packages available: Try the Basic package to test out if our styles match. The Standard package is great for a full novel. Type in your word count for accurate pricing. When you're a great writer, you can probably find tons of readers. But from me, you'll receive detailed and dedicated reactions, feedback and observations on patterns in your style.


What you'll get:

  • Line by line honest reader reactions ranging from confusion to delight and intrigue
  • Light grammar and spelling checks
  • Word or sentence structure suggestions
  • Patterns in your writing found to quickly upgrade the whole piece
  • Overall impressions that can be used in pitches or queries

With the Premium package:

  • A list of agents and small publishers that might love your work
  • 2 weeks of my undivided attention for a back and forth connection


Make sure your art is communicating what you want it to, watch the story unfold through another's eyes, and have someone who has your back on plot holes or continuity confusions.

*I will never use AI for this gig.*

    She definitely wins as most expensive beta reader I've hired to date but she made it worth every penny! I'm so excited to get to work, considering her suggestions and implementing new ideas she's helped to spark. Love her!

    Amazing experience! Claudia always does exceptional work. She has a very sharp eye at the line level and her understanding of micropacing, structure, and flow, makes her insights invaluable in the final stages of any project. Cannot recommend highly enough!

    Claudia consistently does exceptional work. She has a deep knowledge of grammar, syntax, subtext, pacing, and story structure. She knows the rules and she also knows when it's okay to break them. I am always impressed by her attention to detail and her fluency with line level analysis that has me coming back to her with all my projects. Highly recommend!
