I'm an experienced beta reader and published author offering an honest, reader-focused beta reading service for fiction writers who want thoughtful, constructive manuscript feedback.
I know that sharing your work can feel intimidating. My goal is to give you clear, respectful feedback that helps you strengthen your story while staying true to your voice.
What you will get from my beta reading.

- Plot clarity and structure
- Pacing and story flow
- Character development and consistency
- Emotional impact and engagement
- World building and continuity
- Overall strengths and areas for improvement
You will receive a reader report containing insights into what's working well and where reader's may get confused, disengaged, or want more.
Why work with me?
- Experienced beta reader
- Published author who understands the writing process
- Honest, constructive, and encouraging feedback
- Clear communication and respect for your creative vision
I won't change your voice or rewrite your story. I'll help you see your manuscript through a reader's eyes.

FAQ
Do you use AI tools?
No. I believe that AI should be kept out of creative writing and therefore only provide genuine human feedback.
What does your beta reading service include?
My beta reading service provides honest, reader-focused feedback on your manuscript. I focus on the overall reading experience, including plot clarity, pacing, character development, emotional impact, and engagement.
Is this editing or proofreading?
No this service does not provide line editing, copy editing or proofreading.
What genres do you beta read?
I primarily beta read fantasy and sci-fi, although I have experience beta reading manuscripts from other genres. If you want to know whether I work in your manuscripts genre feel free to message me before ordering.
How do you deliver feedback?
Feedback is provided in a clearly written beta reader report, and through in-line comments if your manuscript is sent as a Word file or through Google Docs.
Can you read a partial manuscript or early draft?
Yes, I'm happy to beta read opening chapters, partial manuscripts, or early drafts. Just make sure your word count fits the package you choose.
Should I message you before ordering?
Yes please. Messaging before ordering helps ensure that we're a good fit. Let me know your genre, word count, and timeline and I'll confirm the best package for your manuscript, or discuss a custom offer if required.
