About this Gig

Did you just finish a draft of your work and need an extra pair of eyes on it?


As your beta reader I will provide a detailed readers report after each chapter and give feedback on character acts, plot arcs, emotional or spicy scenes, and give suggested improvements and opinions. I will also provide a 2-3 page reader report answering questions centered around these categories:


Was your first chapter gripping enough to hold a reader's?

How was the character development?

What were some of my favorite parts?

Was anything confusing or inconsistent?

How was the plot structure/ and overall readability?

Was the pacing of scenes and chapters right?

Was the dialogue natural?

Was the ending worth reading the whole book?


I have been an avid reader my whole life. So, I know what makes a reader immerse themselves in a text and can use that knowledge to help you develop your work, whether it's a fictional or a nonfiction narrative.

    I’ve worked with Jess before, and she recently read the second book in my sequel. I’m very happy with her work. She provided thoughtful inline feedback, especially noting what emotions the story invoked—which helped me see if scenes landed as intended. Overall, her comments were insightful and encouraging....
