I will beta read your fiction manuscript
Creative writing content and design to fit you perfectly
About this Gig
Ready for honest, constructive feedback before you query, submit, or publish?
I'm a published science fiction novelist, and I know what it's like to hand your manuscript to someone else for the first time. As your beta reader, I read as an engaged reader first and a craft-aware writer second, flagging what's working, what's pulling me out of the story, and where the pacing, characters, or worldbuilding need attention.
You'll receive a detailed reader report covering:
- Overall reading experience and pacing
- Character development and voice consistency
- Plot structure, stakes, and clarity
- Worldbuilding and setting (especially relevant for fantasy/sci-fi)
- Dialogue and prose flow
- Specific strengths and areas to revise
I specialize in fantasy and science fiction, but I'm happy to discuss other genres before you order.
Please message me with your word count and genre before ordering so I can confirm the timeline and make sure it's the right fit.

FAQ
Do you edit for grammar and typos?
No — beta reading focuses on story-level feedback (plot, character, pacing), not line editing or proofreading. If you need editing too, let's discuss it as a custom offer.
What genres do you read?
My specialty is fantasy and science fiction, but I'm open to other genres — message me with details before ordering.
Will you give inline comments or just a summary report?
Basic includes a full written report. Standard and Premium add inline comments on the manuscript itself, in addition to the report.
What if my manuscript is longer than the Premium tier?
Message me your word count and I'll send a custom offer — I regularly read full-length novels, this just lets me quote accurately.
Is a revision or follow-up included?
Beta reading itself isn't revised (it's a one-time read and report), but Premium includes a short follow-up Q&A if you have clarifying questions about the feedback.
