FAQ
Which genres will you read?
I am open to reading all genres but I specialize in historical fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, YA, and memoirs/biographies
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, I would be happy to sign an NDA. But if you don't have an NDA ready, rest assured the privacy and respect of your writing is paramount to me
Do you use AI? Will you read AI writing?
I do not use AI for my beta reading services. I would rather not read AI writing. Personally, I am anti-AI for creative writing. AI has its uses (such as analyzing medical screening) but I do not believe it is a net positive in the creative writing space.

What format should I submit my manuscript in?
I prefer word or pdf documents but I am open to whatever format is most comfortable for you
Do you provide progress updates?
Yes, I provide updates with feedback on day 2, day 3, day 7, and day 10 (as needed for the delivery date). I highly encourage authors to reach out at any time during the read with further questions and/or additional update requests
