I have successfully worked on multiple manuscripts over the past months and I understand what keeps readers engaged in fantasy and paranormal storytelling.

    Deborah exceeded my expectations in every way. I hired her to beta read the first five chapters of a self-help manuscript originally written in Vietnamese and localized into English, so I needed someone who could flag not just grammar issues but emotional resonance, natural English flow, and voice consistency.

    This is my second project with Deborah. Her experience in Cozy Mysteries is spot on. Again, I uniquely love that she has a degree in English Literature, which gives her the backbone, behind her Cozy Mysteries experience. I look forward to using her in the future.

    Deborah gave me a fantastic in depth walk through of my work providing detailed feedback from multiple perspectives on every chapter. I found it particularly valuable to have both her opinions and feelings of reading it, coupled with notes of where dialogue was overly formal or tone of narration needed adjustment. Amazing feedback for future work!

    I have had a difficult time with some other beta readers following my instructions as to what I wanted. This was exactly what I wanted and I very much appreciate it.
