About this Gig

Let's get one thing straight: I'm not just here for the money. I genuinely love reading and helping authors bring out the best in their work.


Hi, I'm Jennell! I'm a dedicated beta reader with over a decade of experience in writing and publishing. I've written bestselling books, helped produce several others, and guided countless authors through their journeys. 


I know firsthand how nerve-wracking it can be to publish your work. You may wonder: Is this any good? Will people connect with it? Can this really be published? That's where I come in.

When you work with me, you'll receive a thoughtful and thorough beta reader report that includes:


️>Honest, constructive feedback

>️ Insightful critique of plot, pacing, dialogue, and character development

️>A breakdown of strengths and areas for improvement

️> Suggestions to help you elevate your story


I care about your work, and I want readers to love your book as much as you hope they will.


PLEASE DO NOT SELECT EXTRA-FAST DELIVERY WITHOUT CHECKING MY AVAILABILITY FIRST. FAILURE TO DO SO MIGHT LEAD TO CANCELLATION.

    Janell did a superb job with the beta read. She was quick, but her report was thoughtful. Her comments were spot on. She mentioned that there were a few grammatical issues. I would have liked for her to identify them to see if they were purposeful based on the character or just my mistakes.

    The amount of time and work that Jannell put into my Beta Review should have cost me $1,000 or more. She charged me $115. Janell, you are an exceptionally skilled and detailed reviewer and should charge much more than you do. Or, you should be working for a large publisher. If you are considering hiring a Beta Reviewer Jannell will blow you away.

    I hired Janelle to get fresh eyes on my manuscript. She did just that, and her report was timely and answered lots of technical questions a fiction writer needs to know. She even filled out a short questionnaire I provided, showing she is flexible to work with. If you're in need of a beta reader who...

    I hired two top rated beta readers and Jennell's inline comments weren't as descriptive as the other reader, though they were still useful, but I gave full stars because she identified words and imagery I overused and that was very helpful.

    Jennell was my target audience, and I was able to gather a lot based on her experience with the story. She did a great job with her beta-readers' reports. Based on her comments inside the document, she was clearly engaged. I would have preferred more detailed comments and fewer one-liners, but I appreciated her quick turnaround.
