About this Gig
Are you looking for honest feedback on your writing? You've come to the right place!
I will beta read your novel and provide a detailed and constructive reader report. This report will contain my feedback on various elements like reader engagement, language use, plot holes, or anything else I find that may help you develop your work. This is great for novels that are not published, or even as a refresher for books that may have been rushed into publication.
With over 12 years of experience and over 396+ successfully promoted books from various authors, I have the skills required to help you achieve your publishing dreams with a well-written story. I am also an award-winning and bestselling author so I know what the publishing industry is looking for.
Genres I am most familiar with are:
- Horror
- Paranormal
- Romance
- Young Adult
- Women's fiction
- Thriller
- Suspense
- Mystery
I am NOT accepting non-fiction, religious-based stories, autobiographies, or memoirs. Please do not send me raw, unedited works.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

FAQ
Will anyone else read my novel?
No. I work alone and no one will have access to your story.
Will you retain a copy of my story?
Your story will be saved to my computer for 30 days to ensure all revisions are made and any questions are answered. After this time period, it will be deleted off of my computer.
What if my book is already published?
That's okay! I work with authors who want to have a fresh pair of eyes go over their books. Sometimes revisions need to be made to ensure that the story is appealing to new audiences. It also helps for stories that may have been rushed into publication so they can be cleaned up and market ready.
Are you an individual or a company?
I am an individual who also owns an online book promotion company. I handle all beta reading aspects of the company.
Do you accept works in other languages?
Unfortunately, no. I am native to the English language and thus more comfortable with it. I do have a little knowledge in British English but please message me prior to ordering if using UK English.
What format should I submit my book in?
A Word Doc is the preferred format so that I can track changes and add comments.
Will you give me a positive reader report?
I will highlight both the positive AND the negative aspects of the novel. You are paying for critical and unbiased input from me as a beta reader. I cannot guarantee that my opinions will be positive or "what you want to hear," but I can promise that they will be professional.
What exactly will you receive with each order?
You will receive (1) a brief summary of my overall thoughts and opinions of the novel, (2) a detailed reader report in PDF format detailing specific aspects in the story that needs attention and (3) comments within the Word Doc tracking all changes.
Will you edit my work while reading it?
Beta reading is NOT editing. Please provide an edited work for me to work with. I will point out any spelling errors or typos that I find while reading it, but it is not included in the package.

Jaidis brings a great amount of insight to my project each time. Posing difficult questions that percolate for further thought into my manuscript. I really value her input and appreciate that she is part of my publishing team!

Jaidis has provided me with a thorough review twice now, and is especially good about looking from an angle which I didn't think to look. This greatly helps to solidify the story--tying loose ends and filling in gaps! She is also great with communication prior, during and after the review. Love working with her!

The feedback I've gotten from Jaidis has been amazing. I sent her the fifth draft of my book and she provided good feedback as to how it flowed and what I'm missing to further develop the story. I highly recommend Jaidis if u want strong feedback on your novel!

This was a good experience overall. She found an error in the story that others had missed. A couple of her suggestions will tighten the story up as well.
