About this Gig

As both a reader and a writer, I can give you an honest critique and feedback on your story, as well as proven solutions and pathways to bring your story and your writing to the next level. Whether you plan to publish soon or enter the query trenches, I want to help you give your best first impression.


What I will focus on:

  • Reading thoroughly both on a surface level and deeper into the layers of the text
  • In line comments on anything that jumps out, both positive and negative, from a readers perspective
  • Flagging any minor typos, repeated words or phrases, weak/unnecessary sentences or descriptions
  • A report detailing strengths and weaknesses of the text and constructive ways these can be improved to benefit the overall story


My goal is to polish and strengthen the work you have already done so your reader gets the best first impression of your story.

    She came in a little bit late but otherwise her analysis of my manuscript was very good and professional. I could tell that she read it thouroughly and she provided some very specific insights that will improve the story tremendously. I would hire here again.

    Gloria is a knowledgeable, pleasant, and professional beta reader. I had her help me with a dark fantasy series that's in the works, I found her feedback helpful and encouraging. She does not pull punches, however. Expect honest critique!
