I will beta read your sci fi manuscript for scientific accuracy
About this Gig
Is your story's science intact? As a biologist with an MS in Biotechnology and a life-long reader, I read your manuscript through the eyes of your most scientifically literate readers, I'll tell you exactly where the science pulls them in and where it breaks them out.
I'm not here to nit-pick every single thing. I'm here to tell you whether the science feels real enough to keep your readers immersed or not, and what you can do to fix whatever breaks them out.
What I will review:
Biology, Genetics, Biotechnology, Ecology, Evolution, Microbiology, Environmental Science and any other adjacent life science.
This job is perfect for:
Science Fiction, Cli-Fi, Biopunk, Medical Thrillers, Near Future Fiction.
What you'll get:
A written document with feedback on what works and what breaks immersion, and specific advice on fixes or things you can look into further.

FAQ
What if my manuscript covers science outside your area of expertise?
My strongest areas are biology, genetics, biotechnology, ecology, and environmental science. If your manuscript covers physics, chemistry, or other fields, I'll flag what seems off and recommend where to research further, but I'll be upfront about the limits of my expertise.
Will you fix the science for me?
I'll identify what breaks immersion and suggest directions for fixing it, but the rewriting is up to you. Think of me as a knowledgeable reader pointing out problems, not a co-author solving them.
What if my science is intentionally fictional?
That's totally fine! I'll flag where a scientifically literate reader might push back, and you can decide what to keep. Some rule-breaking is great storytelling; I'll help you know which liberties cost you credibility and which don't.
Do you read all genres or just hard sci-fi?
I cover any genre where science plays a role: sci-fi, biopunk, cli-fi, medical thrillers, near-future fiction, and even horror with scientific elements.
