About this Gig
Finding beta readers is hard! Finding comprehensive, useful feedback is even harder. You've had beta readers send notes saying, "This is good," with 0 explanation as to what makes it good or WHY.
I specialize in high-level literary analysis to help you transport your reader directly into your amazing world. I deliver detailed feedback to enhance what you've written, highlighting areas to develop your craft, kill plot holes, and make sure your story gives the exact message you intend--and I'll explain the reason behind my feedback.
- Send me your manuscript (& a beta reader question list if applicable)
- I'll do an initial read with knee-jerk live reactions (sometimes silly lol)
- I'll evaluate plot, story, narrative summary vs. active scene, characterization, voice, tone, message, themes, etc., detailing what you're doing well vs. what I think needs to be strengthened, and why.
- I'll deliver 2 documents: Live-Reactions per chapter and my Evaluation of your work as a whole. You read it over and ask any clarifying questions you'd like!
Shoot me a message, and I'll get back to you within the day!
*No AI please*
*If you want a custom gig, I am more than happy to accommodate your needs.

Kristen did an amazing job. She really broke every part down and made it very easy to understand what she was referring to. She caught a lot of the errors that I missed after several reviews! I really appreciate your perspective and your attention to detail!

Kristen has delivered the most thoughtful feedback I have ever received on my manuscript. She was able to notice the continuity I have been hoping readers would catch. Her feedback was the perfect mix of pointing out weak spots and finding the gold. It was perfect! I will, without question, be using her for future writings. Bravo, Kristen!
