About this Gig
My goal is to provide clear, honest, reliable feedback on your book or fiction manuscript.
I can work from a set list of questions of your choosing, or I can give an overall impression of your story, whether it is a full manuscript or a selection of chapters. This feedback can cover points including the general flow of the story, characterisation, and most importantly highlight any areas of confusion or inconsistencies in the plot.
I'm happy to read all genres of fiction but have a special interest in literary, historical, dystopian and speculative fiction. The work does not need to be complete and it is not a problem if the work is a rough draft.
I won't read anything that has been generated using AI and I also do not use AI.
I would advise getting in touch before you make a purchase so we can discuss what you are looking for and an ideal timeline. Also happy to discuss additional word counts.
*If you would like a more detailed review of your work, please see my other gig and consider a manuscript review.
Language:
English
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.
FAQ
What files do you work in?
Word files are preferred, but I also work in Scrivener.

Emily gave me thoughtful, constructive feedback on a very lean early draft of my novel. She identified several areas that gave me a lot to think about as I move into revisions, and her feedback was both encouraging and genuinely useful. She also delivered faster than expected. Would definitely work with her again!

Ongoing collaborationGreat beta-reader and definitely gave me lots to think about! My book will be a lot stronger because of the advice/confusion around some parts of the story which is essentially what you need from a reader instead of all things positive! Delivery time was very quick as well, which was much appreciated!
