FAQ
What stage should my manuscript be in to request a beta read?
Your manuscript can be in any state of draft, but it doesn’t need to be polished. Beta reading focuses on the story’s structure, characters, and readability—not grammar or copyediting.
Can I get line edits with the beta reader report?
This service provides big-picture feedback on narrative elements such as character development, pacing, plot, and clarity. If you need help with grammar, spelling, or sentence structure, consider requesting a sample line edit or booking an editing package instead.
How will I receive my feedback?
You’ll receive a detailed beta reader report in a PDF format, organized by category (character, plot, pacing, etc.) with specific examples and suggestions for improvement. P.S. design also makes for a great social share to tease your book! (See gig sample document.)
