I will beta read your fiction with detailed and constructive feedback
About this Gig
What to expect:
I will beta read your work and provide thoughtful, detail oriented feedback on your project about the plot, characters, pacing, as well as what strengths and weaknesses could be worked on.
Along with in document comments, I will provide at least a one page document of notes with my general opinion, feedback, and answers to some key questions.
As opposed to my developmental editing gig, beta reading is more focused on the general storyline and impact of it.
For example,
- How do your characters develop? Is it realistic and well formed?
- Is the storyline/plot easy to follow?
- Are there any holes in the plot?
- Is the prose easy to understand?
- Did the pacing get slow or stagnant at any point?
- What did I like, dislike, and what could be added/tweaked?

FAQ
Do you use AI in your work?
I will never, ever use AI in any of my projects.
What is the difference between beta reading and developmental editing?
Developmental editing is specific and more focused on the lines/scenes/chapters, whereas beta reading focuses on the project as a whole. Beta reading is more centered on the overall story.
