FAQ
What exactly is included in your beta reading service?
For every order, I provide a combination of inline comments within your document and a structured reader report. My manuscript feedback focuses on the reader's emotional journey, pacing, character development, and the strength of your "hook."
Do you provide a critique for all genres?
Yes! I specialize in fiction. Whether you need a beta reader for Romance, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Thrillers, or YA, I can provide a professional beta read. If you have a highly niche genre, feel free to message me first!
Is this an editing or proofreading service?
No. While I may point out recurring errors, a beta read is focused on the story, flow, and reader experience. If you are looking for a deep critique of your plot and characters rather than just grammar checks, this gig is for you.
How do I receive my manuscript feedback?
I prefer to work with Microsoft Word (.docx) or Google Docs. This allows me to leave inline comments directly on the text so you can see my reactions in real-time as I beta read your chapters.
