About this Gig

Have you finished a draft of your novel and now you're unsure what to do next? This is where a beta reader like me comes in! I am here to look at your story with a fresh pair of eyes and provide thoughtful and constructive feedback.


When reading your manuscript, I will provide in-line comments, as well as larger-scale structural critiques about plot, pacing, character, and style.



Some questions I consider while reading your manuscript:


  • What is my first impression of your story? (i.e. does the opening pull me in right away?)
  • How is the pacing? Does it hold my attention as a reader?
  • Are the characters consistent and compelling?
  • Does the dialogue flow naturally?
  • How are elements like setting and description working for your story?
  • Are there any errors or inconsistencies you could work on?
  • Does the ending feel surprising yet satisfying?



I will read fiction, short stories, memoirs, and erotica (even fanfiction!). If you have any questions about the services I offer, or what genres I'll read, send me a message.


I look forward to working with you!

    Emma's beta read of my short story was extremely professional. She has an eagle eye for detail, as well as a remarkable talent to understand an author's intentions, and she communicates that with wit, grace, and honesty. Highly recommended!
