About this Gig
It takes courage to let others read your work and comment on it. So let me congratulate you on taking that step. As a beta reader, my part here is to read your novel and give detailed feedback on what works and doesn't.
My feedback includes comments on the following:
- the opening scene
- characterization and motivation
- plot and conflict
- setting/worldbuilding
- dialogue
- pacing
- craft
- overall impression
- and additional comments (if necessary).
If your novel exceeds 100K words, send me a message for a quote.
I'm a master's student and a working professional with over 6 years of experience in beta reading. Being an avid reader, I'm open to most genres. For YA and Romance novels, please check out my other gig.
Before ordering the gig, please send me a message mentioning:
- The word count of your novel
- Genre
- Synopsis
If you have a special request, please run it by me, and I will let you know if it's within my ability to accommodate your custom request.
Thank you!

FAQ
In which format should I submit my work?
I would prefer PDF format, but if not, that's all right!
What genres do you read?
I read most fiction genres. I do not read non-fiction. You can message me to confirm if I am beta reading a specific genre.
Do you read unfinished books?
Yes, I do. Just remember to order the gig according to the word count limit set in the packages. If you're confused, shoot me a message and I'll help you out!
Do you take special requests?
I do, depending on what it is. Message me to explain the nature of your request and I'll let you know if it's within my ability to do so! For example, I delivered a special request that required me to react to the story like I would when watching a movie instead of critiquing it!
Do you beta read screenplays too?
I do! I have another gig made for screenplay beta reading so head on over there for more information.
Do you comment on grammar?
I do not. I am a beta reader, not an editor.
Privacy
You've worked extremely hard on your book and it's natural to worry about plagiarism and unsolicited distribution. I will never breach that trust and if needed, I am willing to sign an NDA.

Thanks so much Pearl! I really enjoy reading your comments (they make me laugh now and then) and it's reassuring to have someone beta read who gets it.
