About this Gig

Your book is like a young hero, setting out on an epic quest. As a beta reader, I will act as a mentor and provide guidance on any issues that stand out.


As part of my beta reading services, I include light developmental editing and inline comments. I will give honest feedback on how the story performs in different areas, whether the characters are compelling, the plot is engaging, help the author avoid clichés, improve pacing, or add depth to the world-building or character development.


If there is something specific you would like feedback on, please let me know.

I will include a beta reader's feedback report upon completion.


I will only accept the following genres - Middle Grade, YA, Adult - fantasy, mystery, dystopian, paranormal, and sci-fi.

    The seller delivered exactly what I was looking for. I was struggling with the direction I wanted my book to go, so I sent a small snippet of my bigger project for general feedback. I was impressed with how the seller was able to dive right into the heart of things and offer feedback that hit home. I'm...
