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.

    This 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.

    MJ read my manuscript closely and gave me such valuable comments that I incorporated before releasing my book to my ARC readers and to the market. I truly value the feedback and believe my book was much improved. I will definitely return to MJ for beta reading in the future! Thank you!

    I have just received my report for my first novel and I am very pleased with the feedback. There was some points in it that I was aware of, but couldn't entirely grasp what was going wrong and what needed to be done to fix things. This report will be instrumental in helping me fix those elements now. There...

    MJ 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.

    I received an extremely professional and detailed piece of work. 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...
