I will beta read your manuscript and deliver a detailed report
About this Gig
I am Vlaan, writer/creator of the Kinslayers Chronicles.
I provide structured and direct feedback on what works, what weakens the story, and what will most improve your next draft. I take the time to step into your story, experience it and its characters. You will receive practical feedback to help you understand how your story connects.
Through extensive travel/exposure to diverse histories and cultures, I recognise where a story feels immersive, where clarity falters, and where deeper themes can be strengthened. With qualifications in social science, experience in defence and leadership in contract law, I approach stories with both analytical clarity and strong emotional awareness.
All Orders Include:
- 7-page beta reader questionnaire.
