About this Gig
You know your story inside out. But does it land the way you intended?
I'll beta read your manuscript and give you constructive feedback on what holds my attention, where I lose interest, and what leaves me wanting more.
My approach is honest, thoughtful, and focused on the readers experience. You'll hear whats workingnot just what needs changing.
My beta reading feedback covers:
- Opening hook and first impressions
- Plot development, pacing, and confusing scenes
- Character motivations, relationships, and consistency
- Dialogue and emotional impact
- World-building and clarity
- Unanswered questions and the endings payoff
Depending on your package, youll receive a reader report, in-document comments, and chapter-by-chapter notes with practical suggestions.
Have specific concerns? Send them with your manuscript so I can pay particular attention while reading.

FAQ
What will I receive?
You’ll receive a written reader report explaining my reactions, your story’s strengths, and areas that could use attention. Standard adds in-document comments. Premium also includes chapter-by-chapter notes and revision priorities.
Is beta reading the same as editing?
No. Beta reading focuses on the reader’s experience and helps an author identify what works and what doesn’t before further revision or editing. It isn’t a substitute for proofreading or line editing.
What genres do you accept?
Send your genre, word count, a short synopsis, and any content warnings before ordering. We’ll confirm that your manuscript is a good fit.
Can you read an unfinished manuscript?
Yes. Share the available chapters and explain where the draft ends. My feedback will cover the material provided, rather than judging an ending you haven’t written yet.
Will you rewrite my manuscript?
No. I’ll explain where something feels unclear or less effective and suggest possible directions. The writing decisions stay yours.
Can I send specific questions?
Yes. You can ask about character likability, pacing, plot twists, confusing scenes, or other concerns. Each package lists how many questions are included.
What file format should I send?
An editable Word document is preferred so I can add comments where included. Please provide a clean copy with readable formatting.
What does a revision include?
A revision covers clarifying or expanding on feedback already delivered. It doesn’t include rereading a revised manuscript or reviewing new chapters.
My manuscript is longer than 40,000 words. Can you help?
Message me with the total word count, genre, and deadline before ordering so we can agree on a custom scope and delivery time.
Will my manuscript stay private?
I won’t publish, distribute, or use your manuscript in my portfolio without your written permission.
