About this Gig
Let me be your story's first real reader!
I don't just read manuscripts, I analyze them. As a beta reader, my goal is to help you identify your story's strengths, its weak spots, and help you refine your narrative so that it captivates your reader just as you intended.
Here's what you can expect from my beta reading service:
- ️ A detailed report with honest, constructive feedback
- ️ Analysis of pacing, plot structure, and consistency
- ️ In-depth comments on character development and arcs
- ️ Thematic and tonal evaluation
- ️ Insights into symbolism, allegories (intentional or not), and deeper meanings
- ️ Suggestions for improvement, always respecting your voice
Whether you're writing fantasy, romance, or any genre you can come up with, like an existencial sci-fi supernatural psychological horror drama, I'll approach your work with care, curiosity, and a keen eye for narrative depth.
I also make no distinction between books, novellas, scripts, comic books, etc. I analyse stories, no matter the format.
Let's turn your story into an even stronger piece of art!

FAQ
What format should I send my text?
Preferably Word or PDF, but I accept other formats too. Just make sure to let me know how many words the document has beforehand, in case the format doesn't naturally calculate them.
Do you check for grammar or spelling mistakes?
Yes, but I have a dedicated gig for editing and proofreading. You can just message me regardless, and I'll send you a custom offer through the other gig if your focus is proofreading.
Can I send texts with more or fewer words than the ones listed on the packages?
Of course! Let's talk and we'll come up with a fitting custom offer for your story. So don't worry :)
