FAQ
What is beta reading?
Beta reading is feedback from a reader's perspective before your manuscript is published or professionally edited. I focus on what works, what doesn't, where I become confused or lose interest, and how the overall reading experience feels.
What genres do you beta read?
I accept both fiction and nonfiction. Please message me before ordering if you're unsure whether your manuscript is a good fit.
Do you provide editing?
This Gig is specifically for beta reading and reader feedback. It does not include proofreading, copyediting, or line editing.
What will you look for while reading?
I'll consider pacing, plot, characters, dialogue, clarity, engagement, emotional impact, consistency, confusing sections, slow or rushed moments, and overall reader experience.
Will you be honest about my manuscript?
Yes. My feedback is honest but constructive. I'll point out strengths as well as areas that may need improvement.
Will you tell me where you lost interest?
Yes. If a section feels slow, confusing, repetitive, rushed, or difficult to follow, I'll identify it in my feedback.
Can I give you specific questions to answer?
Absolutely. You can provide specific questions or concerns you'd like me to keep in mind while reading.
Can you beta read more than the word limit?
Yes. Please message me before ordering so I can provide the appropriate offer for your manuscript.
Will you fix the problems you find?
No. The purpose of beta reading is to identify problems and provide reader insight. Editing or rewriting would require a separate service.
