Sharing your story is brave--I'm Team You all the way.
You've poured your heart into this romance. Now you're ready for honest, strengths-based feedback to help it shine.

FAQ
What’s your author experience? Why should I listen to you?
I'm an indie author with two published novels and a novella (both anthology and standalone). My most recent release hit #1 on Amazon’s Bestseller List. In my day job, I coach and mentor using a strengths-based approach—always leading with kindness, curiosity, and respect for your voice.
Will you highlight what’s working, or just focus on mistakes?
You’ll get honest, thoughtful feedback—but never cruelty. I highlight what’s working and what could be stronger, always with kindness, clarity, and respect. My goal is to support your growth, not tear you down.
Do you use AI?
Great question! I believe AI can be helpful when used ethically as a tool. However, I do not use generative AI when providing feedback. All feedback is based on my lived experience, professional judgment, and deep respect for storytelling.
What format do you accept?
I prefer Word documents (.doc or .docx) because they’re easiest for reading and leaving comments. Google Docs are also fine—just make sure I have view or edit access. If you’re working in PDF or another format, feel free to ask and I’ll let you know if it’ll work for your tier.
Can you work on a tight deadline?
Yes! Rush delivery may be available depending on the project length and my current schedule. Please message me first so I can confirm availability and offer a custom timeline if needed.
Can you help me decide which package is right for me?
Absolutely. Message me with your project’s word count, goals, and any concerns, and I’ll point you to the best tier—or suggest a custom offer if needed.
What if I’m not sure my story is ready?
That’s totally fine! I’ll meet you where you are. Whether you need a gut check or deeper insight, I’ll provide clear, kind feedback to help you take the next step with confidence.
Will you tell me if something feels off in the story or characters?
Yes—with kindness. If something feels inconsistent, unclear, or out of step with genre expectations, I’ll gently flag it and offer suggestions.
Do you offer follow-up reads after I revise my manuscript?
I’m happy to provide a second-pass beta read or follow-up feedback on revised chapters—just send me a message and I’ll create a custom offer for you. This gig includes detailed first-round feedback only, so follow-up reads are priced separately.
What if my manuscript is over 20,000 words and I want in-line comments?
In-line comments are available as a $10 add-on and include up to 20,000 words. I’ll leave direct notes to highlight strengths, flag concerns, and suggest improvements. Longer work? Message me for a custom quote.

Nikki is a superstar. She just read through the second half of my novel, accommodating a quicker turnaround while still providing thoughtful and actionable feedback which will make for a breeze when it comes to my last rewrites. I will absolutely be returning for future projects.

This was my first time using Nikki and let me say I'm amazed! Her report was more detailed than I was expecting and she caught some things I was already second-guessing. If you need a beta reader who catches all of it, then she's your girl!

Nikki’s report and comments on my romance novel were EXCEPTIONAL. Thorough, thoughtful, and the more critical notes were productive, constructive, and kind. I am incredibly grateful to have found her.
