About this Gig
I will alpha read or beta read your fantasy novel and psychological thriller manuscript
You've poured yourself into this story, now you need a reader who will take it just as seriously.
I offer in depth alpha reading and beta reading for fantasy novels (epic, dark, urban, romantasy, grimdark) and psychological thrillers, two genres where every plot thread, world rule, and character decision has to earn its place. I read your manuscript as your ideal reader would: fully immersed, critically aware, and honest about what's working and what isn't.
What you receive:
- A detailed written reader report (not bullet point fluff)
- Inline comments throughout the manuscript
- Honest, constructive, and encouraging feedback
- A genuine reader's perspective not a grammar check
I read every word. No skimming, no AI generated filler. Your manuscript deserves a real read through.

FAQ
What's the difference between alpha reading and beta reading?
Alpha reading is for early/rough drafts, big picture feedback before you've polished the story. Beta reading is for near finished manuscripts: pacing, plot, characters, and overall reader experience. Not sure which you need? Message me and we'll figure it out.
Do you read fantasy sub genres like romantasy, grimdark, or urban fantasy?
Yes, all of them. Fantasy is my home genre. Epic, grimdark, romantasy, urban, I read and love them all.
What makes psychological thrillers different to beta read?
They live or die on unreliable narration, twist payoff, and sustained dread. I focus on whether clues are planted fairly, whether the twist lands convincingly, and whether the tension holds all the way through.
Will you fix grammar and spelling?
No, that's proofreading, which is a separate service. My focus is the reading experience: story, pacing, structure, and characters. I may flag something if it pulled me out of the story, but line level corrections aren't included.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Completely. I never share, quote, or discuss your work. Happy to sign an NDA before we begin, just ask.
How honest will your feedback be?
Honest and kind. No empty praise, no tearing work apart. I'll tell you what a real reader in your target audience would genuinely feel, including what isn't landing yet.
