About this Gig

Hi! I'm Nik (he/him), a queer writer, editor, and beta reader with 5 years of experience. I spend basically all my time reading books, stories, and scripts.


There are two genres I absolutely adore: fantasy and horror. I also specialize in LGBTQ+ topics and love a good romance.


Here's what youll get with every order:


  • In-document comments on grammar and spelling (unless you don't want this)
  • In-document comments of my thoughts as I go along (so that you can see what the reader might be thinking)
  • Reader report document on the plot, characters, story, pacing, my personal favorites, any confusion, etc. (detailed; usually, you expect 2k+ words for stories over 25k words)
  • Sensitivity report (LGBTQ+, fat rep, mental health rep - esp. neurodivergence and OCD)


I read all genres, but these are my personal faves:


  • Horror
  • Fantasy
  • Romantasy
  • Romance


I'm happy to provide feedback in Google Docs or Microsoft Word. If you'd like me to use different software, send me a message and let's talk!

    It was a pleasant experience working with Nik! It was my first time sharing the first pages of my manuscript, and Nik was so helpful in pointing out details that could be improved as well as what was working quite well. I also really appreciated the in-document comments to see what was truly going through...

    Extremely pleased with Nik's beta read for my novella! The quality and amount of human feedback in his written report and in-line comments exceeded my expectations, and he took a lot of care in addressing my (many) areas of concern. Very timely and thorough communications before and during the gig. This...

    Nik did a PHENOMENAL job going through my YA fantasy novel. Caught errors that my manuscript-blindness had me completely glossing over, made such sweet notes along the way, and helped me find what needs a little bit of tuning before the book is ready to go on shelves! I would absolutely recommend Nik...

    Nik is amazing. He didn't butter me up. He brought up things i never considered. He showed me what I needed to work on without being offensive. He confirmed some issues I myself had with my story without prompting. I was able to feel what my story was like through someone else's eyes. He didn't deliver...
