***PLEASE DO NOT ORDER WITHOUT CONTACTING ME FIRST.***
Beta readings do not guarantee positive feedback. If you are sensitive to critical feedback, please consider other options.
I will provide you with a feedback letter covering the following:
- Readability of your manuscript. In other words, how quickly was the book read, how much did your reader enjoy it, and where did it drag?
- Reader's opinion. As a reader, what did your reader think of your plot, characters, and writing style?
- Positives and negatives. What about the book did your reader love or hate?
- Questions. As a reader, what questions do we have about the story? Its up to you to decide whether this is what you want readers to be asking themselves when reading.
- Brief discussion of your manuscript. Limited to broad question and answer format.
Feedback will be provided in the form of a PDF. You are welcome to submit a list of questions as a guide, but they will not be reviewed until after the reading and after the letter is written.
Accepted genres:
- Sci-fi/Fantasy
- Horror
- Crime/Thriller/Mystery
- Romance
- MG/YA
- Literary
- Speculative
Language:
English
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.
