FAQ
What will I receive?
You’ll receive in-document reader reactions and a written feedback report covering areas such as plot, pacing, character development, dialogue, emotional impact and overall reader experience.
Is beta reading the same as proofreading?
No. Beta reading focuses on how the story works for a reader. It does not include detailed corrections for grammar, spelling or punctuation.
Will you rewrite or edit my manuscript?
No. I will identify areas that may need strengthening and explain why, but I will preserve your voice and leave all final creative decisions to you.
What genres do you read?
I particularly enjoy romance, dark romance, contemporary fiction, women’s fiction, literary fiction, thrillers and emotionally driven stories.
Can you beta read a manuscript longer than the package limit?
Yes. Message me with the total word count and I can create a custom offer.
Are you comfortable reading sensitive or explicit content?
Yes. I welcome manuscripts exploring mature, dark, emotionally complex or sensitive themes. Please mention any particularly graphic content when ordering.
Can I ask you to focus on specific concerns?
Yes. Tell me about any characters, scenes, plot points or questions you would particularly like feedback on.
What file formats do you accept?
Google Docs and DOCX are preferred because they allow in-document comments. PDF files may also be accepted if commenting is enabled.
