I will beta read and critique your horror fiction manuscript
Beta read your romance or fantasy novel
About this Gig
Hello there! I'm a full-time beta reader specializing in Horror, Fantasy, and LitRPG fiction. When I'm not working, I'm either reading anything I can get my hands on or playing role-playing games so horror isn't just a job for me, it's a genre I live in.
If you've written a horror short story, novella, or full-length novel and you're not sure whether the fear actually lands on the page, you need a beta reader who understands the genre inside and out not a generic editor skimming for typos. I read horror obsessively, understand what makes readers turn pages at 2am with the lights on, and know exactly where most horror manuscripts go wrong. When you work with me, you get the honest reaction of a genre-savvy reader who will tell you the truth about your story before it reaches an agent, publisher, or paying audience.
What I focus on:
- Fear factor Does the horror land? Where does tension build, and where does it deflate?
- Pacing Are the slow-burn moments earning their place? Do the scares hit at the right time?
- Plot & structure Are there logic gaps, dropped threads, or holes in your story's internal rules?
- Characters Do readers care enough about them to be scared for them?
