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
Language:
English

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...
