I will be your beta reader
About this Gig
A beta reader is someone from your target audience who can read your final draft before you send it to your editor, following up with detailed feedback from a reader's (not editor's!) perspective. Your work is ready for a beta reader once YOU are happy with the story.
After reading your story or book thoroughly, I will answer these questions in detail for you (as they apply):
- At what point did you feel like "ah, now the story has really begun!"?
- What were the parts you found yourself skimming?
- Did you notice any discrepancies or inconsistencies in time sequences, places, character details, or other details?
- Was there anything that just wasn't working?
- Was there enough conflict, tension, and intrigue to keep your interest?
- Were there any parts you think could/should have been omitted that wouldn't have changed the plot?
- Was the story predictable? If not, what did you expect to happen?
- How did the characters develop throughout the story?
- Did you come away with any unanswered questions?
- Was the ending satisfying? Believable?
Please message me before placing an order with your story's length, genre, your vision for it, and any additional questions you may want me to answer.

FAQ
Will you edit the story as well?
I do not offer line editing or copy editing as part of these three packages but I will: 1) point out any grammatical or typographical errors as I see them. 2) customize an order for you if this is something you are hoping for. Just shoot me a message so we can work something out for you!
What can I expect from your service?
I use Microsoft Word for this service. I will send you one document with MS Word Track Changes to show any changes I have made and one document answering all of the questions listed above, as they apply.
What genres do you specialize in?
Suspense/Thriller, Romance, Travel, Memoirs, Dystopian, Women's fiction, Short Stories, Children books
I have a different set of questions I want you to answer. Can you use my list instead?
Of course! Message me before placing an order, and we can discuss exactly what questions you want me to focus on answering so I can give you a report customized to you.

Hannah was exactly what I needed. Someone to spot my inconsistencies. She was honest and direct with her comments, not in a tearing down way, but in an "as a reader this is my issue."
