I will beta read and provide feedback on your story
Gig Summary
Professional writer, editor, proofreader
About this Gig
Deep Reading. Honest Feedback. Fresh Perspective.
As your beta reader, I'll show you what it's like to experience your story for the first time. My in-text comments capture where I was captivated, where I got lost, and what lingered after I finished reading, paired with clear, actionable feedback to strengthen your manuscript.
A Writer's Reader
As a writer, editor, and folklorist, I read with both a reader's curiosity and an editor's eye. I work with fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction, memoir, literary fiction, and more. Whatever your genre, I'll meet your story on its own terms.
You'll receive:
- Detailed in-text comments highlighting strengths and opportunities
- Honest feedback on plot, pacing, characters, dialogue, and theme
- Optional Track Changes edits
- Insight into the reader's experience
- Target audience and comparable title suggestions
I can't wait to step into your story!

FAQ
What if I can't find my word count listed?
Send me a message and we can work out a custom order. I work with any genre and any novel length (seriously, any length!)
I really want to work with you but you are out of my budget, what can I do?
Please message me! If finances are the only thing in the way of working with me, send me a private message and we can work out a custom order.
What is the difference between a beta read and a developmental edit?
A developmental edit is an in-depth look at your entire manuscript, an examination of all the elements of your writing, from single words and the phrasing of individual sentences, to overall structure and style. Most betas don't look at these important details. This gig combines both!

Ongoing collaborationI could not have asked for anyone more professional and thorough. The Seller's commitment to the project right from the start was very confidence-inspiring and took a great deal of stress out of the process for me. For that I am extremely grateful and recommend her whole-heartedly to anyone and everyone.

I had high expectations working with Jade due to the large number of glowing reviews from other customers, and she did not disappoint. Even with a 100k novel, she delivered on time and the quality of the work was well worth the money spent. Jade also welcomes questions at any point during the process...
