About this Gig

Drawing on my experience in the publishing industry, I provide detailed manuscript analyses and beta reads focused on both reader engagement and market viability. I evaluate elements such as plot structure, pacing, characterization, worldbuilding, narrative voice, dialogue, and thematic development, while also considering how the manuscript fits within its target genre and current publishing landscape.

As a literary agent, I approach manuscripts with both an editorial and industry-focused perspective, helping authors strengthen their work while maintaining their unique voice and creative vision.
