I will beta read your fiction and give thoughtful feedback
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!

FAQ
Do you take on larger projects over 50k words?
Yes! I'd love to read your longer manuscripts. Message me, and we can work out a custom gig for you.
Do you beta read non-fiction?
Not at this time. I have experience with fiction and creative non-fiction (a.k.a. memoirs), but if you're looking for someone to beta read your non-fiction book, then look for a beta reader who specializes in that.
Will you read explicit sex scenes?
Yes, but please send me a brief overview of possible trigger warnings (e.g. kinks), that way I can make an informed decision about what I'm going to read.
