About this Gig
Looking for honest, professional beta reading? HoodEdits offers beta reading, alpha reading, ARC reading, and full manuscript review services for both fiction and non-fiction writers.
Whether you need an early alpha read to shape your first draft, a full beta reading pass before querying or publishing, an ARC read with an honest review ahead of launch, or a detailed manuscript review covering structure and prose I've got you covered.
My critiques include:
- Plot and story structure
- Pacing and flow
- Character development
- Prose quality and voice
- Overall reader experience
Beta reading and manuscript review packages include a written report plus in-line comments. Alpha reading is lighter-touch, focused on big-picture direction while you're still drafting. ARC reading includes an honest reader review you can use for launch.
Fiction or non-fiction I'll help you find what's working and what needs work before your book reaches readers.

FAQ
Do you edit fiction, non-fiction, or both?
Both. I'm comfortable reading and critiquing across genres and formats.
What will I receive when it's done?
A written feedback report covering plot, structure, pacing, character, and prose, plus in-line comments directly on your manuscript
How long does it take?
Turnaround depends on manuscript length and package tier, see the delivery time on each package. Rush delivery may be available on request.
Do you do line editing or proofreading?
My focus is developmental/critique feedback, story and craft level, not grammar or copyediting. Let me know if you need that separately so I can point you the right direction.
Will you tell me if my book isn't good, or just say nice things?
I give honest, constructive feedback not just praise. My goal is to help you see what's genuinely working and what needs revision so you can improve the manuscript.
