I will beta read your short story and offer honest feedback

No. I work alone and no one will have access to your 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.

That's okay! I work with authors who want to have a fresh pair of eyes go over their stories. 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.

I am an individual who also owns an online book promotion company. I handle all beta reading aspects of the company.

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.

A Word Doc is the preferred format so that I can track changes and add comments.

I will highlight both the positive AND the negative aspects of the story. 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.

You will receive (1) a brief summary of my overall thoughts and opinions of the story, (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.

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.
