About this Gig
*Please contact before booking to ensure availability*
*Contact me for larger manuscripts*
Looking for a beta reader for your children's story? Feel it needs a bit of polishing? Perhaps you have concerns about character and plot development, pacing, or your narrative in general. You've come to the right place!
As an avid reader, I'm here to help make your story shine. You'll get my honest reader opinion along with my critical writer's eye. I've been beta reading, alpha reading, and critiquing fellow writers' manuscripts for 8+ years.
If you were to ask any of my critique partners, they would tell you that I'm known for my compliment sandwich. I know how hard it is to turn over your work to someone else and I'm not looking to crush you. I want to elevate your writing. To me, that doesn't just mean letting you know what's wrong. It also means letting you know what's right. I will tell you what I like as well as what I think needs work. I want you to walk away satisfied!
This gig includes in-line notes & a reader report!
I'm not currently offering samples on beta reads or services for non-fiction works. Sorry for any inconvenience.
For now, happy writing!

FAQ
What does a beta read cover?
This will mostly depend on what your story needs as I read, but in general, a beta read with me consists of focusing on: Pacing, plot, character development, worldbuilding, typos, grammar, and prose. In the requirements, I always ask what you'd like me to focus on.
What if I have follow up questions?
I always welcome follow-up questions! However, if you have them, I'd appreciate it if you'd ask them within the gig chat since I do not typically offer revisions.
What file types do you accept?
I currently accept manuscripts as doc, docx, pdf, and google doc files. If you wish to send me a google doc, please talk to me about this before booking so I can walk you through the process of sharing it.
Do you use AI for your beta reads?
No. I do beta reading because I love storytelling. So, I do absolutely everything from scratch. I don't use AI to beta read or to write the reader report.
