FAQ
What is a beta read and how is it different from editing?
A beta read focuses on feedback: plot, pacing, character arcs, voice, consistency, and reader experience. It is not a line edit or copyedit, though I will flag major grammar or clarity issues.
Which genres do you accept?
I beta read YA, romance, romantasy, fantasy, thriller, horror, sci-fi, and memoir. If your project blends genres, that is fine.
What will I receive with a beta read?
You will get chapter-by-chapter notes, inline comments, a concise editorial letter highlighting strengths and problems, a prioritized list of fixes, and a short follow-up Q and A.
Do you use AI to create feedback?
No. I provide human-only feedback based on 3+ years of beta reading experience. I believe nuanced storycraft needs real readers, not AI summaries.
What file types do you accept and how should I send my manuscript?
I prefer .docx or Google Docs with comments enabled. PDFs are accepted, but limit inline commenting. Include a brief synopsis and target audience when you send it.
