About this Gig
As a writer I understand just how difficult it can be to find timely, honest feedback on your writing. As an experienced sci-fi and fantasy reader I can help identify strengths and issues in your manuscript from the point of view of a typical reader.
What my Beta Reading service provides:
I will read your manuscript and provide honest feedback in a timely fashion. My goal is to help you understand what a reader would think of your manuscript to help you improve your writing. As a writer it is impossible to be completely objective with your own work, which is where I come in with my fresh set of eyes!
Included in my Reader Report:
- Overall Thoughts
- Plot and Pacing
- Characters
- Worldbuilding
- Dialogue
- Strengths and Weaknesses
- Answering Your Specific Questions
All I require for this gig is your manuscript is ready to be read by a reader in word doc, google doc, or pdf format. Don't worry too much about grammar or spelling errors, my focus is on the full picture of your story!
I mostly read sci-fi and fantasy, although I do read a wide variety of short stories. If your story is another genre reach out before ordering.
Please reach out with any questions or specific request!

Working with Patrick was a huge pleasure. As a first time writer I tend to overthink my work, so I was very pleased when the feedback was how much he wanted more of the things I love to write about. His understanding of the market and marketability of work is impressive and I hope to continue to work with him in the future.
