About this Gig
Not sure if your story actually hits the way you want it to before it goes any further? Whether you're deep in a first draft or getting ready to query, an honest outside read can save you months of guesswork.
I offer beta reading and alpha reading critiques for romance, fantasy, and dark fiction novels. I read your manuscript closely and give you honest feedback on plot, pacing, character arcs, tension, and reader engagement, plus a critique of what's pulling readers in and what's pulling them out. Alpha readers welcome for early or unfinished drafts too.
Features List:
- Beta read or alpha read (early/unfinished drafts welcome)
- Detailed critique on plot, pacing, and story structure
- Character arc and relationship dynamic feedback (key for romance)
- Tension and stakes analysis (key for dark fantasy/thriller elements)
- Reader engagement notes, where the story pulls you in or loses you
- Written critique report plus optional in-line comments
- Honest, specific feedback, not generic compliments
Send me your manuscript along with what stage it's at and what kind of feedback you need, and I'll help you see exactly where your story is working and where it needs strengthening.

FAQ
What's the difference between an alpha read and a beta read?
An alpha read is for early, unfinished, or messy drafts focused on big-picture issues like plot and structure. A beta read is for more complete drafts focused on refining pacing, character depth, and reader engagement.
Will feedback be harsh or just polite?
Neither, it'll be honest and specific. I focus on what genuinely helps your story improve, without unnecessary harshness or empty praise.
Do you have experience with romance pacing and chemistry specifically?
Yes, romance feedback includes attention to tension, chemistry, and relationship pacing, not just general plot notes.
Can you handle dark themes or morally complex characters?
Yes, I read dark fantasy and complex character work without judgment and critique it the same as any other genre.
How much feedback will I actually get, is it just a few notes?
You'll get a full written critique report, plus in-line comments depending on your package, not just a short paragraph of general thoughts.
