Author Suport Specialist and Beta Reader
About this Gig
Hi, Im Lisa a UK-based writer, beta reader and bookish content creator with a particular love for romance, romantasy, fantasy and darker fiction.
As both a writer and an avid reader, I understand how much work and heart goes into a manuscript. My beta reading focuses on the reader experience: what hooked me, where my attention dipped, which characters I connected with, what confused me and the moments that genuinely made me feel something.
My feedback can cover:
Plot and pacing
Character development and chemistry
Romance and relationship progression
Worldbuilding
Dialogue
Reader engagement and emotional impact
Confusing or inconsistent areas
Strengths and opportunities for improvement

FAQ
What genres do you read?
I specialise in fantasy, romantasy, romance, young adult romance, paranormal romance and speculative fiction. If your book falls outside these genres, feel free to message me before ordering.
What is Beta reading?
Beta reading provides feedback from a reader's perspective. I focus on plot, pacing, characters, world-building, engagement, strengths, and areas that may need improvement. This is not a professional edit or proofreading service.
Will you edit my manuscript?
No. This service focuses on reader feedback and impressions. Higher packages include sample line edits to demonstrate potential improvements, but the service is primarily beta reading.
Can I contact you before ordering?
Absolutely. I encourage buyers to send a message before ordering if they have any questions about genre, word count, or specific feedback requirements.
Do you accept full length novels?
Absolutely. If your manuscript is longer than the word count included in my packages, you can add additional words to your order. For longer manuscripts, feel free to message me first and I can help you choose the right option.
Are you comfortable reading dark romance, spice and mature themes?
Yes. I’m comfortable reading adult romance, dark romance, spicy content and mature themes. If your manuscript contains particularly sensitive or extreme content, please message me beforehand so we can make sure I’m the right reader for your story.
Will my manuscript remain confidential?
Yes. Your manuscript and story ideas will be treated as confidential and will never be shared, published or used elsewhere. I understand how important it is for authors to feel comfortable sharing unpublished work.
