About this Gig

Your success is my top priority...

...so I focus on one simple question: Does the story work?


I'll read your book as a reader would, and I'll give you unfiltered, honest feedback.

What works?

What doesn't?

Would I buy the book after the first few pages?

When would I stop reading the story (and why)?

I'll let you know, flagging all potential dealbreakers and personal preferences.


Storytelling structure, flow, pacing, readability, characterization of your MC and supporting characters, explicit scenes, emotional resonance - all that will be covered in the report (and in-line comments, in case of DOCX file).


What's included:

  • Reader's report;
  • In-line comments with genuine reactions (DOCX only);
  • Honesty, confidentiality, and respect for your creative work.

    Maciek once again went above and beyond to fully immerse himself in my world, taking the time to understand it deeply and provide incredibly thoughtful, in depth feedback.

    Maciek was an exceptionally attentive, communicative, and engaged beta reader. He left hundreds of in-line comments in addition to a detailed final report, but what really stood out was how involved he was throughout the entire read. He regularly messaged me with reactions, predictions, and observations...

    I received detailed feedback, including many comments directly in the manuscript. It was very interesting and useful to read the notes alongside the text and see the reader’s reactions as the story progressed, including what worked for him and what did not. I’m very happy with the feedback and grateful for the time and attention he put into the manuscript.
