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 detailed feedback on character arcs, plot arcs, emotional or spicy scenes, suggested improvements, and my overall 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 readers attention?
  • 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 the 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 its fiction or nonfiction.

    Ah! I love working with Jess. She's the type of editor who really takes the time to understand, learn, and care for your characters. A person who I believe understands the craft of writing beyond what's minimally expected as an editor. This is my second time seeking her, but it won't be the last!
