I will beta read your historical fiction poetry beta reader cozy mystery beta reader

A reader-focused beta read of your manuscript, covering story, characters, pacing and how the writing lands. You get an honest report on what works, what doesn’t, and what to fix first.

No. A beta read tells you how your book feels to a reader. A book edit changes the text itself. I’ll tell you which one you need next, so you don’t pay for a book edit before the story is ready.

Historical fiction, poetry, cozy mystery, fantasy, romance, thriller, science fiction, literary, and young adult fiction. If you’re unsure, message me before you order.

Yes. I look at imagery, rhythm, flow, the order of your poems, and whether the collection holds together as a whole. Tell me the number of poems when you order.

Clues, red herrings, fair-play puzzles, pacing, and whether the setting and amateur sleuth feel warm and believable. I’ll flag plot holes before readers do.

Yes. My other gigs cover book edit services, including developmental editing, line editing and copy editing. After your beta read, I can recommend which book edit suits your manuscript.
