About this Gig

*Please message before placing an order to confirm availability.*


Constructive and honest feedback can often be the difference between a well-written piece and an exceptional one, not be mention between bolstered enthusiasm and flagging interest in your own work. But thorough feedback can be hard to find and searching for alpha and/or beta readers can be exhausting.


As a professional writer and enthusiastic reader of fantasy and sci fi, I know the importance of having unbiased feedback on your fiction. I also know how nerve-wracking and frustrating it can be to find an engaged reader of fantasy and sci fi who will provide the kind and constructive feedback needed to bring your writing to the next level. I will bring my years of experience in the publishing industry to your fantasy and sci fi.


Whether you have just completed your first or fiftieth draft, I would be thrilled to read it. All documents should be in Microsoft Word or Google Doc format. Your review will cover the following:


  • Overall Impressions
  • Characters and Character Development
  • Plot and Storyline
  • Worldbuilding, Development, and Immersion
  • Pace

Genre:

Fanfiction

Horror/ thriller

Literary fiction

    Leo did an outstanding job. His inline comments were incredibly engaging and gave me a real-time look at how the story was landing, from the jokes that made him laugh to the moments that surprised or hooked him. His reader report was thorough, thoughtful, and encouraging while still providing useful...

    Leo's feedback was thorough and professionally handled. Turnaround was great, and communication was quick. What I especially loved is that Leo included comp novels to my book, which demonstrated that they know the genre. I've worked with other betas who just give a "surface read," but Leo dug into the...

    I would highly recommend beta readers for any author wanting to debut their work. They are absolutely essential to the writing process and Leo has proving himself more than exceptional. Fast and professional, would love to work with him again in the future.

Both the comments and report were thorough. The entire time they were in contact with me. I never felt like I couldn't communicate with them. And finally,...

    Leo was very responsive and great at communicating as I made a couple last-minute changes to my manuscript before submission. He provided thorough feedback right on schedule and (not to sound like a cheapskate) charged less for his work than others who based on samples reviewed didn't put as much thought...
