I've worked with Elle a few times and she never disappoints. I love how deep she dives into the story and the characters. This was a pretty tight MS but she...
About this Gig
Are you looking for an LGBTQIA+ beta reader for your manuscript? Would you benefit from advice on story structure, theme, and character development, all from a reader who understands one of the communities you're representing? Look no further!
I will beta read your LGBTQIA+ novel and provide helpful feedback on the novel itself and the portrayal of any LGBTQIA+ characters. Feel free to request focus on any specific character or plotline in the story.
A bit about me: I've identified as a lesbian for over a decade (although I've also identified as bisexual and queer in the past) and use she/they pronouns. I'm very up-to-date on social issues and trends within the community and can gently direct you toward proper terminology and portrayals of LGBTQIA+ characters in your manuscript. I am also well-versed in LGBTQIA+ history, taking multiple courses on the subject and studying it regularly, so I'm happy to answer questions and clarify facts if your story involves the history of the community as well!
If you're a returning client interested in working with me again (with an updated draft or new story entirely), message me before booking for a lil discount! :-)

FAQ
Do you use AI while beta reading?
Never have, never will! The only eyes on your work will be mine. Your manuscript will never be uploaded into any AI programs, and the comments/critique letter will be entirely my own thoughts. I want to enjoy and give feedback on your story through good, old-fashioned reading and critical thought!
Can I still book this service if my manuscript is longer than 100k words?
Of course! Feel free to message me with your word count for a custom offer.
Do you read adult content/smut? Should I provide trigger warnings?
Yup, no problem! I'm open to reading pretty much any type of story, especially romance in all its forms. I don't need any trigger warnings, although if you'd like to provide them, go right ahead!

It's rare to find a beta reader who resonates with your work so much that you *want* the negative feedback. Elle is that reader. Her detailed notes on every point, both affirming and corrective, showed me how deeply she invested in the read. She gave me a clear launch for my next revision. I'm sure you'll be seeing more of my reviews popping up in her feed!

I've worked with Elle a few times and she never disappoints. I love how deep she dives into the story and the characters. This was a pretty tight MS but she still finds places to strengthen and I LOVE that about her. She's one of my favourite beta readers. A true gem!
