**Please message me for custom orders. I am happy to do them.**


If you are a children's book or YA writer, in need of a serious and fair review of your work. I am a K-6 certified teacher as well as a certified Special Education teacher. I also offer my services as an avid reader of children's, middle grade and YA books due to my career and my own child's interest in these books.


My beta reading services included detailed notes on your story. I offer my professional opinion on how students might interact with the book.  


This is a great choice if you need honest and constructive feedback. I also provide light edits and initial reactions/questions as I read, if the document is provided in a word document.

    Kaylee provided a thoughtful and useful beta read, with several strong observations about pacing, dialogue clarity, world-building, and places where the story became harder to follow. Her feedback was candid and helped identify some genuine reader-experience issues, particularly in the more complex middle...

    I'm very happy with the feedback received! It was great value for money. For context, I'm writing a middle-grade spooky adventure book. My manuscript has already been reviewed in peer groups, but I felt like I was missing the review by someone working with children on a daily. I ended up with actionable...

    Kaylee is very good to work with. She knows the material well and can give good insight for children's books. I always learn from her and try to better my writing skills and story flow.

    The cost of this beta read was definitely worth the money. Kaylee, a lover of YA fiction, read my manuscript as I would hope any reader might, just coming across the book. She identified strengths and areas that could be improved. The experience was like sitting down with your ideal reader and learning what worked and what didn't yet. So glad I found her!

    Kaylee delivered a knowledgeable response to the ms, several days earlier than I'd expected. She clearly understood the style and objective of the work, and was encouraging without being simplistic. Her criticisms, and listing of strengths and weaknesses were valid, and her suggested changes practical....
