About this Gig
Please contact me before placing any orders.
I promise to aid you in putting your best work forward, every time.
If you want to get inside a reader's mind and truly understand how your manuscript is performingthen look no further.
As an avid reader and a writer, I know writing a novel is a labour love with blood, sweat and tears blurring the keyboard. For the final stages, you need fresh eyes. Let me be yours.
I will take the time to get to know your project, focus my attention on the specific questions you have to curate a detailed reader report which analyses every aspect of your work. If you choose me, I can guarantee that your report will be extensive and you will have access to every note, thought and question which I discover whilst reading.
My focus revolves around answering your questions and discovering where your plot leads the reader. Considering the likability and success of the characters you create, as well as how deep you draw in the reader from the very first sentence.
My intention is never to just 'read your book.' I want you to reach new heights as an author, elevate your writing and push you towards excellence.

FAQ
Do you use AI?
Nope. I use absolutely zero AI. All words, thoughts and comments are completely my own. Always.
What is included in your gig?
Every reader report covers a range of topics, including: Plot, Pacing, World Building, Characterisation and Character Development, Impact of Key Relationships, and Problems Discovered. As well as including In-Line Comments, and Chapter by Chapter Reports. My average is 10-15 pages long!
What makes you different?
Every report receives my complete focus and I like to tailor the report to every individual's needs. Plot holes and inconsistencies are my speciality, my brain locks onto the details! I'm a firm believer in giving authors the tools for success, because every book deserves to be read and truly loved.
Do you have any triggers?
No, I'm happy to read pretty much anything and everything.
My genre isn't listed, what can I do?
I read most genres, if yours is not included then just message me and ask. I'm happy to read the majority of genres but I have a special interest in Romance, Fantasy, Sci-fi and Thriller!

Ongoing collaborationThis was my second go round with Megan as I wanted to see if I addressed all her concerns from her first read through, and I am so glad I did. The level of detail is still brilliant even though she has read the story before, she still gave it her full attention. I will be using her services again in the future for the sequel and other projects.

Ongoing collaborationMJ went through my 150k-word manuscript with the level of detail closer to one I'd expect from a developmental editor than a beta reader. She is kind, yet has no trouble accurately describing issues she found. I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a beta reader. Easily my first choice for future projects.

MJ read my manuscript three times before delivering the final report, and it shows: every chapter is analyzed individually, with specific observations that are never generic. The document with in-line comments lets me pinpoint exactly where...
