I will beta read and sensitivity read your lgbtq romance novel as queer reader
PROFESSIONAL BETA READER
About this Gig
Every romance novel needs a reader who falls in love with it before it reaches a bookstore shelf; that's what I'm here for.
I beta read and sensitivity read romance manuscripts (LGBTQ and straight romance both), catching what matters most: pacing that drags, chemistry that doesn't land, tropes that fall flat, and for LGBTQ stories, representation that feels authentic, not performative.
What you'll get:
- A full read from a genuine reader's perspective, not a line-editor's
- Inline comments throughout your manuscript reactions and flags right where they happen
- A written feedback report on pacing, chemistry, trope execution, and (for LGBTQ romance) representation
- Honest, constructive notes what worked, what didn't, and why
My approach: I read the way your audience will be swept up in the story, noticing exactly where a scene doesn't hit or pulls me out.
Turnaround: Based on manuscript length, see packages.
