About this Gig

***Please contact me before you book the gig!***

***Please contact me before you book the gig!***

I am a young adult author and have written and published three YA novels and read books in the genre for over 30 years. I will provide beta reader feedback on your YA novel to help identify areas where the story may lack clarity, have continuity issues, or may cause the reader confusion. If interested, I am also willing to provide some line editing as well, including spelling, grammar, or other noticeable issues. I have three packages but would happily discuss other custom package options as needed. I primarily read fiction, fantasy, romance, rom-com, horror, paranormal, and sci-fi, but am open to other genres. I am probably NOT the best fit for EPIC fantasy stories (GoT, LoTR, etc) because I have not recently read in the genre. I am also not the best fit if your story is D&D-based or related to other RPGs.


The Reader Report includes my thoughts on:

  • Plot
  • First Impression
  • Characters
  • Dialogue
  • Plausibility
  • Continuity
  • Pace
  • Overall Thoughts


All three packages include a set word count, but additional words are available. Depending on your word count, I may require additional time.

    Much appreciated, Kenneth. You've given me a lot of fodder for my next revision. This was a very helpful critique, and you went above and beyond with your proofing suggestions. Anyone looking for a good beta read--balanced, honest, helpful--should look no further!

    Kenneth's notes and in-line comments were very thoughtful and useful for my developing manuscript. He was able to point out specific instances in which the narrative did not give enough in terms of characterization. He was also very enthusiastic about my work and communicated with me beyond the delivery date. I'm very grateful for his feedback!
