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!

Patrick is one of the best beta readers I have worked with, which is why this was neither my first time placing an order with him nor will it be my last. His inline comments are extremely useful for gauging how the text lands with a reader and where adjustments are needed to ensure clarity. For anyone looking for honest feedback, Patrick is the real deal.
