FAQ
What exactly is beta reading?
Beta reading means I'll read your manuscript and provide honest feedback from a reader's perspective, not as an editor. I'll highlight what works, what could improve, and how engaging the story feels all before you publish or revise your book.
Do you correct grammar, spelling or sentence structure?
No, I focus on storytelling, pacing, clarity, and character development.
What type of books do you accept?
I love reading mystery, thriller, and fiction but I'm also open to romance, drama, memoirs, self-help, and other genres.
How long does it take you to complete a beta read?
Delivery times depends on word count. My packages range from 3 to 7 days, and longer books or add-ons may add an extra day or two. If you're on a tight deadline, choose Extra Fast Delivery for priority reading.
What if I need changes or clarifications?
Each package includes revisions for minor clarifications. I'll happily expand or clarify any part of my feedback so it's easy to understand. A full re-read of a revised manuscript, however, would require a new order.
Will you share or publish my book anywhere?
Never. Your work remains 100% private and confidential. I do not share, upload, or discuss your manuscript with anyone.
Can you read an unfinished or work-in progress manuscript?
Yes! I can beta read partial drafts, early chapters, or in-progress works. Just let me know what stage you're at, and I'll tailor my feedback to your goals.
What format should I send my file in?
I accept Word (.doc/.docx) or PDF files.
How do I know which package to choose?
Choose based on your word count: -Up to 5,000 words (Basic) -Up to 15,000 words (Standard) -Up to 30,000 words (Premium) For longer manuscripts, just message me for a custom quote.
