Hi! My name is Louise, and I have a long history beta-reading and proofreading published novels and novellas. As an author, I understand the novel-writing process and want to help you make your man...
About this Gig


With a focus on plotting, pace, characters, world-building, and tone, I will read your manuscript and supply thorough feedback with an overall write-up, along with inline notes throughout the text (if a google or word doc is supplied). The reader report will be detailed, looking from both a reader and author perspective. I will also make use of the google doc or word commenting feature to leave my reactions as I go along, and correct any grammar or spelling issues I spot.


My feedback will be detailed, and I will include comments on:

  • Individual Character Impressions
  • Plotting: flow, pacing, twists, interest
  • World-building/ Setting: not just for fantasy, discussions of the world you have created around your characters
  • Writing Style: including advice on improvements and a line edit
  • Tone: does it fit the genre? Is your voice/ your characters voice strong?
  • Overview: including strengths/ weaknesses and brief summary
  • Any particular questions you have


I read manuscripts of all fiction genres and lengths (no non-fiction), just get in touch if you'd like to confirm we're a good fit.

    I really appreciated the feedback. Extremely quick (250 pages in less than a week with annotations all the way through). Many good points throughout, both in the annotations and in the reader report. Responded quickly and in depth to the questions that arose as I read her comments.

    Louise makes my stories so much better. She notices all the little things that I can't see myself and truly elevates the book. 5/5 stars, will definitely hire again!

    Ahhhh!!! Louise is AMAZING! The amount of comments she left on my manuscript were so helpful. Not only just leaving reactions, but giving really thorough feedback on why something didn’t land, or felt frustrating. Will be booking with her again!
