I will be your romance and romantasy beta reader for your novel
About this Gig
Beta reading for romance and romantasy novels, from a reader-editor who understands genre expectations and tropes.
As your beta reader, I read your manuscript the way your target audience will: for pacing, tension, chemistry, tropes, and whether the emotional beats land. You'll get honest, detailed feedback before your book goes to an editor or out into the world.
What you get:
- Full read-through as a genre reader, not a line editor
- Feedback on pacing, romantic tension, character chemistry, and trope execution
- Notes on plot holes, inconsistencies, and reader confusion points
- Overall reader-reaction report (what worked, what didn't, where I lost interest)
- Optional chapter-by-chapter comments
Genres: contemporary romance, romantasy, fantasy romance, dark romance, and epic fantasy with romantic subplots.
This is not a developmental edit or copy edit. It's the "does this work for readers" pass every romance manuscript needs before publication.
Send me your manuscript and tropes/comps, and I'll confirm fit before you order.

FAQ
What's the difference between a beta reader and an editor?
A beta reader gives you a reader's honest reaction, pacing, tension, chemistry, whether the story works. An editor fixes grammar and prose. This gig is beta reading only. I do offer developmental and line editing separately if you need that after.
Do you read romantasy and fantasy romance specifically?
Yes. Romantasy and fantasy romance are genres I specialize in as a beta reader, along with contemporary and dark romance.
Will you tell me if my tropes are working?
Yes. Trope execution, whether the slow burn actually burns, whether the enemies-to-lovers tension lands, is a core part of my beta read feedback.
Can I get feedback on just my opening chapters before committing to the full manuscript?
Yes, message me first with your word count and I can scope a partial read.
