    Cait did an exceptional job of finding inconsistencies in the manuscript. As a writer, sometimes I think I'm seeing things that are not there, or missing things that are there, because I've read it so many times. That's where a set of new eyes is critical. Cait's attention to these kinds of details is why she was able to catch these for me.

    This is my first time working with Cait and I was extremely impressed. She was very thorough in her report, delivered her report to me exactly on time, and provided me with very helpful feedback and I can now go implement in my manuscript. I highly recommend Cait as a Beta Reader and will definitely be using her services again!

She has a sharp eye for identifying plot gaps, character inconsistencies, and areas where additional clarity or depth is needed. Beyond her keen insights, Cait...

    I love getting the viewpoint of a reader! As a new author nothing is more terrifying that "will readers enjoy it." Love that she breaks down the parts of the story to comment on the plot, pacing, characters and how they work together.
