About this Gig

Congratulations on finishing your horror, thriller, or mystery work! You've put in the time and effort to make your vision a reality on the page. Now I come in.


I will beta read your horror, thriller, or mystery work and provide sample line editing and thoughtful, in-depth feedback to make your project shine. I offer packages based on word count to accommodate any length of writing, including short stories, novellas, novels, and screenplays.

    Kat's feedback was fantastic. It was clear that she read the manuscript, she reviewed it, she thought about its text and she made observations. Many authors use AI to assist in editing, so we come to beta readers to get a real human's feedback. And that's exactly what she gave. I will definitely be using her again in the future!

    This is my second time working with Kat on a short story collection. Her overall review and commentary were spot on, and she is a great line editor, even catching errors in previously published work! I will use her again for my novel, which I hope to publish in 2027. Hire her: you won’t be disappointed!

    Kat was great to work with and provided an excellent service. She gave 3 pages of feedback and answered many (over ten) of my follow up questions I had in detail. Where I wished her in-line comments would have been more frequent and detailed it did give me great feedback and light editing. A lot of work...
