About this Gig
Every great novel deserves honest feedback before it reaches readers.
As a writer, you're often too close to your story to notice pacing problems, weak character motivations, plot holes, or scenes that may confuse your audience. That's where a dedicated fiction beta reader can help.
I'll read your novel as your ideal reader would and provide thoughtful, detailed feedback that helps you strengthen your manuscript while preserving your unique voice. My goal is to show you how your story feels from a reader's perspective, highlighting both what captivates and what may need more attention.
My feedback includes:
- Plot & story structure
- Pacing & reader engagement
- Character development & arcs
- Dialogue & emotional impact
- Worldbuilding & consistency
- Plot holes & confusing scenes
- Ending satisfaction
- Overall reader experience
You'll receive a detailed reader report with honest observations and practical suggestions you can confidently use before editing, querying, or publishing your novel.

Maya is the best fantasy editor I could ask for, from her knowledge of the genre to her takes on overall emotional/character arcs to her detailed critiques at the sentence level. The way that Maya lays out her thoughts is incredibly accessible, her timeliness is unmatched, and I always get the sense that she truly wants the best for me + my narrative.
