About this Gig

I will beta read your novel excerpt or full manuscript! I read over 100 books each year outside of work and about 100 more during my work as an editor. Because of this, I can really pay attention to what makes your book stand out and what could use a little bit more work.


I am most familiar with the current market for the following genres: Young Adult, Romance, Erotica, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Literary Fiction, Poetry, and Pop History/Science/Nature Nonfiction. That said, I really have read a little bit of everything, and if you need assistance with another genre, I'm happy to be an outside reader.


This will include feedback on: tone, plot development, characters, setting, word choice, pacing, overarching themes, and any other additional categories you'd like me to pay attention to. I can also give suggestions for where to cut word count if that is a concern for your manuscript.


Hope to work with you! <3

    I don't really have much to say. Lillian's a champion. Absolutely 100% will recommend every step of the way. Incredible perspective. I can only describe Lillian's attention to detail as "intense". I can't even begin to say how much I appreciate this, well worth it.

    Lillian was a great proofreader, and went beyond expected, she really read my 10k words (no AI contrary to other BL I did!!) and provided me many insightful bright ideas or reflections on my novel! Thanks a lot, I would definitely recommend Lillian as your next beta reader!!

    Professional, prompt, kind, and answered my myriad of questions with patience. Not only did Lillian help out a newbie but she made me feel like a pro in the process. I will definitely be coming back to work with Lillian in the future.
