I will beta read your short story or flash fiction

Want to know how your story reads through fresh, honest eyes?

This gig offers thoughtful beta reading to help you understand your storys impact on an audience before you revise or submit.

You'll receive detailed feedback on:

• First impressions: Does the story hook me right away?
• Pacing & flow: Does the rhythm feel natural or drag in places?
• Character connection: Do the characters feel real and compelling?
• Emotional impact: What moments hit hard or not at all?
• Ending & satisfaction: Does it leave a lasting impression?
• Your specific questions: Let me know if you want feedback on anything in particular!

I'm a published writer, creative writing teacher, and dedicated critiquer with 160+ stories reviewed in courses, workshops, and writer groups. My feedback is honest, constructive, and always aimed at helping your story grow.

Looking for structural guidance on theme, plot, or character arcs?
