Publishing assistance
About this Gig
I will beta read your fiction manuscript and provide structured, actionable feedback on pacing, characters, and plot.
My goal is to help you understand how your story reads to a first-time reader what is working, what may need strengthening, and where readers might lose engagement before you move on to final editing or publication.
You will receive a structured reader report covering:
- pacing and story flow
- character clarity and development
- plot consistency and logic
- engagement and readability
- areas that may confuse or slow readers
This service focuses on story flow and readability rather than technical editing. It is designed to help you evaluate your manuscript at the reader level before moving into copy-editing or proofreading.
This service provides reader feedback only and does not include proofreading, copy-editing, or line editing.
Genres I commonly work with include science fiction, space opera, clean romance, historical fiction, and Christian fiction.
If your manuscript exceeds the package word count, additional word add-ons are available.
