I will deliver expert story feedback, developmental critique and sensitivity analysis
Author, Screenwriter, Podcaster, Story Consultant
About this Gig
If your story is strong but not landing the way it should, the issue isn't talent, it's clarity, execution, or structure.
I'm an author, screenwriter, and podcaster who specializes in professional story feedback, developmental critique, and narrative analysis for fiction and screenplays. I help writers identify whats actually working, whats quietly weakening the story, and how to strengthen it without diluting their voice.
This is not casual beta reading or surface-level notes. My feedback focuses on the elements that determine whether readers, agents, or producers keep going or stop early:
- Story structure and momentum
- Character psychology and motivation
- Stakes, clarity, and emotional payoff
- Cultural clarity, trauma handling, and audience perception
Writers come to me when they're stuck between drafts, preparing to submit or pitch, or frustrated by vague feedback that doesn't lead to real revision.
You'll receive clear, actionable guidance that protects your voice while sharpening impact and focus so you can stop guessing and start making intentional creative decisions.
Ideal for serious writers who want professional-level insight and results.

FAQ
Why did you decide to become a sensitivity reader?
Diversity is the seasoning of life but it's become "culturally dangerous" to ask clarifying questions about lifestyles, cultures, and representations that you have no experience with. My aim is to be a safe place to ask hard questions and get honest, judgement free feedback.
Is this proofreading or line editing?
No. This is story feedback and developmental critique. I focus on structure, character, clarity, and impact—not grammar.
What genres do you work with?
I work across most fiction genres and screenplays. If your project deals with identity, power, culture, or complex characters, my feedback is especially valuable.
Is this suitable for first-time writers?
Yes—if you’re ready for professional-level notes. My feedback is direct, respectful, and focused on growth.
Why are your prices higher than other beta readers?
Because this is not casual reading. You’re paying for expert analysis, strategic insight, and clarity that saves you time, money, and false revisions.

For the most part, great analysis. Delivery time was pushed over 3 times and that effected the context and quality of the work. Most parts that she read and criticized are perfect. Some other points could have been resolved with her reading the sentence before the specific comment/criticism. Overall, informative and would recommend.

Wow! I am still taking a look through the final delivery but just glancing through Kat's notes, she's gone above and beyond. She's suggested feedback here on word choice for certain sections or how to improve chapter openings that other beta readers that I've worked with on this project have missed,...

Kat gave me very specific and creative ideas to add a little punch to my story here and there. She put a lot of time and thought into her comments and I appreciate that. I wasn't in a hurry for my edit, so I wouldn't have minded a longer timeline, but Kat gave herself a short window. I would rather have...

Big thank you's to Kat for her time spent reviewing this draft of my story. Really appreciated the way she broke it down into sections and gave feedback on each of them.
