About this Gig

I will read your romance novel as a professional romance beta reader, using my knowledge of current romance trends and experience as an MFA graduate to inform my comments and advice. I will provide in-line comments as well as a written summary at the end summarizing big picture thoughts about your work in progress.


This process can be done at any point in your process - after a messy first draft, or just needing fresh eyes after major revisions have been done.


I can be counted on to be honest and critical when necessary; critique that only praises and doesn't identify areas for improvement isn't always helpful as part of your publishing process. I try to couch everything in a positive voice and will also be sure to highlight things you're doing well. Strengthening areas of concern and leaning into your strengths will help make your novel shine.


I am not a good fit for your project if generative AI was used to create your novel.

Genre:

Romance

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.

    Rachel did excellent work on my story, pointed out the parts that flowed well and a few that didn't, and gave helpful suggestions for those parts. Will use again.

    I love working with Rachel and she always has great insights whenever she does a beta read. She made some great points that I'm really grateful for, and they will really help elevate my story. Looking forward to working with her again in the future!

    I came to Rachel with a very specific request for feedback related to character development. She delivered a thoughtful, thorough analysis of my entire book, including a breakdown of what was/wasn't working and suggestions for further development. She exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely work with her again on future books!
