About this Gig

Vetted Pro

Looking for an honest, experienced beta reader who will give your manuscript the attention it deserves?

As a published author and professional editor, I read from two perspectives: as a reader experiencing your story and as a writer who understands the craft behind it. My goal is to identify what works, what doesn't, and where readers may become confused, disengaged, or want more.

My feedback includes:

  • Plot, pacing, and overall flow
  • Character development and dialogue
  • Plot holes and continuity issues
  • POV and reader engagement
  • Reactions to key moments
  • Honest, encouraging, actionable feedback
  • A detailed reader report

IMPORTANT: Beta reading is for a complete, author-reviewed manuscript. Your book should be personally read and revised by you from beginning to end before submission.

Beta reading evaluates your finished story. It does not include rewriting, developmental editing, manuscript reconstruction, or assembling unfinished or alternate drafts.

I respect your voice and vision while helping you see your story through a reader's eyes. Let's make your book the strongest version of itself!

Genre:

Action

Adventure

Horror/ thriller

Memoir/ biography

Romance

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.

    Peggy was thorough in her review, and her advice was what I needed to hear. She pointed out both the strengths and weaknesses in my work and gave me clear, practical suggestions for improving it. I especially appreciated her honesty. She didn’t simply tell me what I wanted to hear—she told me what would...

    This is the second time I’ve worked with Peggy, and she continues to impress me. She has a rare ability to see what a piece of writing is trying to become and offer thoughtful, precise feedback that genuinely elevates it without ever overriding the writer’s voice. Her insights don’t just make the work...

    Peggy provided wonderful feedback on my second novel. She included many ideas which will improve the book and also offered strong encouragement (always helpful to the beleaguered scribe). I intend to pick up on her suggestions. She also delivered prompytly and ahead of schedule.
