I once gave a bicycle to a fish. Then i was beginning to believe everyone around me are fish. Or perhaps what i made was not a bicycle at all.

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.
Not sure if this is a good fit? Let's chat!

FAQ
What book categories do you usually work with?
In the last five years, I've mostly worked with Fantasy, Dystopian Sci-Fi, Literary Fiction, YA Coming-of-Age stories, Memoirs, Queer Romance, and Romantasy. These are also the categories I regularly study and read.
What are your favorite types of stories?
I adore good literary fiction. Tear me apart, make me cry, make me feel simultaneously repulsed and fascinated by your complex protagonists and their issues, and I'm your forever reader. I also love Dystopian Sci-Fi and High Fantasy, MM Romance and Queer Coming-of-Age stories.
Do you beta read and edit erotica?
Absolutely! As long as there's the element of consent and everything is legal, all the explicit content is welcome.
Do you beta read and edit stories for children?
No. I'm far more knowledgeable and passionate about stories written for older readers (15+).
Are in-line comments included in this gig?
Yes. If you're interested in my reactions, please share an editable DOCX file. If you don't need in-line comments, you can share your manuscript in any other format.
What’s the best file format for this gig?
Most formats work: DOCX, Google Docs, PDF, EPUB, MOBI, Scrivener, online (AO3, Wattpad, etc.). If you're interested in in-line comments, please share an editable DOCX file.
