Hello There!!!

 I'm Janet, a UK-based professional beta and alpha reader with over 7 years of experience across fantasy and romance. I provide beta reading, alpha reading, and manuscript critique across fantasy, romance, horror, thriller, cozy mystery, dark romance, sci fi and LGBTQ+ stories. I deliver insightful, reader-focused feedback that strengthens your work.


As your dedicated beta/alpha reader, I focus on clarity, pacing, emotional impact, and overall storytelling quality.

    I had a good experience working with her. She gave very detailed chapter-by-chapter feedback and clearly paid attention to the characters, relationship development, pacing, humor, and emotional progression. What I appreciated most was how specific her comments were. She pointed out what worked, what...

    Janet was incredibly thorough and thoughtful with her read. What I appreciated most was that she documented her reactions as she went, so I could actually see how the story was landing in real time instead of just getting a general summary at the end. She paid close attention to the characters, emotional...

    I’m honestly flabbergasted. Janet haggled me up on the price, only for the report to be entirely written by ai, forgetting details from previous chapters, littered with find/replace artifacts (I’re), and lines saying things like: "It left me wanting more context.
