About this Gig

Are you looking for genuine reader feedback before publishing or submitting your manuscript?

I provide detailed alpha and beta reading for novels, novellas, short stories. My focus is helping writers understand how their work lands with real readers.


You will receive feedback on:

  1. Plot and pacing
  2. Atmosphere
  3. Tone
  4. Characters
  5. Dialogue
  6. Flow
  7. Clarity

I specialise in:

  1. Horror
  2. Thriller
  3. Fantasy
  4. Dark Fantasy
  5. Science Fiction

I have a specialised interest in occult, atmospheric, gothic, modern gothic and especially Irish Folk sub-genres of horror. I also will work on Y/A work if it is horror/fantasy/dystopian in nature.


I am happy to work on other genres with you with the caveat that it would be from the perspective of someone outside of a target demographic. If that is a viewpoint you are interested in receiving I am happy to discuss with you.


My feedback will always be objective and honest, there will be no sugar coating or needless criticisms. I understand that fiction is subjective and I will give you my opinion, you are free to disregard it. I am not a professional editor for format/spelling or grammar so this is reader feedback. Send a message for large manuscripts.
