About this Gig
You finished your manuscript, read through it until the words all jumbled together, and are in need of a fresh pair of eyes to take it to its fullest potential. Great news: I'm your gal.
With my background in writing and editing, I promise to provide extensive feedback including an in-depth analysis with clear, actionable suggestions for improvement.
- Intro/Ending
- POV/Voice
- Characters
- Pacing/Flow
- Dialogue
- Setting
- Plot Holes & Inconsistencies
- Strengths & areas to improve
You will get: In-line comments of reactions as I read along & a detailed multiple page reader report with constructive feedback.
While reading, I am asking myself:
- Was the story gripping from the very beginning? If not, why?
- Is there any point where the pacing seems too slow or fast?
- Are there any parts of the story that confused me?
- Are there any inconsistencies?
- Is the setting immersive?
- Do the characters & their actions/dialogue feel authentic?
- Does the writing style suit the target audience/genre?
- Is the ending satisfying?
Preferred Genres: YA and Adult Fiction (fantasy, romance, thriller, paranormal, mystery, adventure, litrpg, short stories, horror), Non-Fiction, Philosophy
I do not use AI at all.
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.

Finding a beta reader like Kimberly is genuinely rare. She got the work. Like, actually got it. Her notes (good and critical) were sharp and honest without hiding behind politeness. That's the exact energy I need from a beta reader. So glad she said yes.
