About this Gig

Are you tired of being the only one whos looking at your book? Wanting a fresh pair of eyes to look over things? Then youve come to the right place.


I do read primarily fiction with my most read genres being Fantasy, Romance, and mystery/thriller, I am also known to read non-fiction from time to time. So those are the genres that I will be focusing on with this gig. OTHER GENRES ARE WELCOME JUST LET ME KNOW.


I do look at the following things while reading (Fiction ONLY):

  • Overall Impression
  • Characters (weather they are believable or not)
  • Plot
  • Pacing
  • World building and setting (this is mostly for fantasy)
  • Writing Style
  • What worked well and what didnt
  • Line Level notes
  • Final thoughts


Non Fiction writers you will get the following:

  • Overall impression
  • Pacing
  • Writing Style
  • What Worked Well and what didnt
  • Final Thoughts


I do use google docs for feedback and for in-line comments. But I do accept .docx if you have used Word. Your novel will be delivered to you in a new .docx file if I received it that way. Reader reactions are optional due to the fact that I do annotate while I read.

Smut is welcome. I do NOT accept AI generated stories

Genre:

Horror/ thriller

Literary fiction

Language:

English

Delivery style preference

Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

    Kathryn is a great beta/alpha reader! She did everything I asked and went above and beyond to give my work in progress the attention it needs to become a story worth sharing! Definitely a wonderful person to work with and I recommend her if you need a pair of critical and engaging eyes on your work!

    I enjoyed working together!
