About this Gig
*** PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE ORDERING TO CONFIRM AVAILABILITY ***
Usually, when an author finishes a full draft of a narrative work that they expect to publish, they will have one or more people - just regular people, not necessarily editors or publishers - read the manuscript and give him or her feedback on what they liked and didn't like, what worked for them and what didn't, if anything needs to be added or removed or rearranged, or any other changes the author might make to improve the manuscript, just from the point of view of an average reader. These people are known as beta readers.

FAQ
Why do I need to pay for a beta reading? Can't I just ask people to do it for free?
While looking for unpaid beta readers is always a good first step (and encouraged!), there can be many benefits to paying for a beta reading—not the least of which is an assurance of the reliability and usefulness of the feedback, and confidence in them keeping that feedback 100% private.
If you like my book, does that mean it will become a best seller?
Beta readers like me, who have worked in the industry, have read manuscripts of all types, so we have a clearer idea of what works and doesn’t work, how to improve it, and what next steps might be need to make it better. Still, we can't guarantee how your book will be received by the general public.
How much does a beta reading cost?
The cost of a beta reading will depend on the length of your manuscript. A beta reading will cost you $0.0025 USD (0.25 cents) per word or a base fee of $25 USD if it’s under 10,000 words. For over 10,000 words, a $25 USD non-refundable deposit will be charged on receipt, and the rest on completion.
Does my manuscript need to be edited before I book a beta reading?
It is not necessary for your manuscript to have been edited before you submit it for a beta reading, but if if is difficult to read or understand, I will make a note of it in my feedback report. I can refer you to a freelance editor if needed.
