    This was my first time working with Kaycee and, having read the reviews, my expectations were high. Well, they were more than fulfilled! Kaycee was able to spot weaknesses, places where my manuscript could be strengthened, and elements that worked particularly well. All suggestions for improvement were...

    Initially Kaycee read the first several chapters of my book. I was so happy with the feedback she gave that I asked her to read the rest of the book. I appreciated that she had clearly read the book and was genuinely positive. This is a first book for me and she is one of just a few people who has read...

    It was clear that Kaycee gave good attention and put good effort into analyzing the section of my novel that I asked her to beta read. She had excellent insights and gave me good ideas for improvement. I will be asking her to read the rest of it. Her in-depth analysis of the characters, plot, and pacing, as well as the in-line comments were very helpful.

    Kaycee did an amazing beta read of a very offbeat YA novel I threw at her. She was able to understand the author's goals and mesh that with the reader experience as well. I picked up a lot of great reader experience feedback from her and received actionable insights and ideas on how to improve them. She made my manuscript better. Thanks!

    Kaycee gave the kind of insightful, honest, actionable feedback that will help me make my novel better. What more can a writer ask for? She not only gave me her overall impressions about the manuscript, she offered line-by-line reactions as well--which is so valuable. I am very happy with the deliverable here and will definitely use Kaycee again.
