About this Gig

I will give you a detailed *report on various aspects of your novel, including plot development, characters, pacing, dialogue, and any other specific feedback you request.


I am passionate about supporting writers of clean fiction. I accept most genres of CLEAN fiction (G-Rated!) and Christian fiction. I will accept some speculative and some sci-fi as long as it contains no para-normal, fantasy, or horror. I look forward to working with you on making your novel the best it can be!


PLEASE NOTE - My beta-reading gigs do not involve edits, but my reports contain elements of substantive editing in that I report on the organization, flow, strength of content, format, and clarity of a story.

    Jocelyn provided a careful review of my book which included pointing out the good and the bad! In addition to the Beta read she included examples of editing that I could do myself to improve the work. She also included helpful suggestions about how to improve marketing the book.

    Jocelyn is a professional. Brought out amazing missed details I had not noticed such as when active /passive voice would be better used. This book will be so much better now that you placed your hands on it!
