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

Sharing your work with someone is so difficult, but I'm so glad I chose Leo. The feedback was positive and constructive, and really gave me the boost I needed to move forward with my manuscript. I could tell that Leo read and lived every word of the story, and the turn around time was also very impressive. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Leo again.

Ongoing collaborationI love working with Leo. This is the second time I have hired him for a beta read and both times he has went above and beyond for me. I honestly couldn't think of anyone I would rather use for beta reading now. He will always be my go to. If you are looking for a beta reader then you need look no further.
