I will beta read your romance novel and provide detailed feedback
BOOK EDITOR
About this Gig
Hi, I'm Faruq, a romance beta reader and editor who has beta read 140+ manuscripts on Fiverr with a 5.0 rating. I read your book the way your target reader will: for chemistry, pacing, and whether the ending actually pays off. Then I give you a clear, honest reader report so you know exactly what's working and what needs another pass before you query or publish.
What I focus on in your Reader Report: -
- Character Chemistry: Is the "spark" believable?
- Plot & Pacing: Are there any "sagging middle" issues?
- Emotional Impact: Did I feel the "happily ever after" (HEA)?
- Dialogue: Does it sound natural and engaging?
- Trope Execution: Are your tropes (Enemies to Lovers, Forced Proximity, etc.) hitting the mark?
I specialize in all Romance subgenres:
- Contemporary & Steamy Romance
- Historical & Regency
- Paranormal & Fantasy Romance
- Young Adult (YA) & Sweet Romance
What you'll receive:
1. A Detailed Reader Report categorized feedback on all major story elements
2. Inline Comments my "live" reactions as a reader, directly on your manuscript.

FAQ
Do you read steamy or "spicy" romance?
Yes, I am comfortable with all levels of heat, from sweet/clean romance to very steamy and dark romance.
Will you provide inline comments or just a report?
I provide both. You will get a comprehensive Reader Report and my live reactions/comments directly in your Word document using "Track Changes."
Can you handle a specific word count not listed in your packages?
Absolutely. Please message me for a custom offer tailored to your exact word count.
Can you read partial manuscripts or only full books?
I can work with both full manuscripts and partial chapters. Whether you need a beta reading critique of selected chapters or a full alpha reader review, I tailor my feedback to your needs.
How long does it take to get feedback?
Delivery time depends on manuscript length. Typically, I provide detailed beta reading feedback within 5–10 days for average-length romance manuscripts. I always communicate clearly and ensure your story gets thoughtful, thorough attention.
Do you offer a smaller, low-cost way to try your feedback style first?
Yes — see my "Sample Beta Read of a Chapter" gig. It's a quick, affordable way to check if we're a good fit before you send your full manuscript.
