About this Gig
Hi, this is Shreya!
I'm a member of the Indian Authors Association, and I hold a Bachelors degree with electives in Creative Writing. Over the past four years, I've worked closely with authors as a beta reader, along with gaining industry experience as a Content Head and Editorial Intern.
I genuinely love working with stories and approach every work with care and honesty, helping you see it through a readers eyes while offering clear feedback.
Questions I ask myself-
- Did the beginning grab me, or did it feel slow?
- Were any parts confusing? What caused that?
- Did the setting feel vivid and enhance the story?
- Were the characters believable and relatable?
- Did any sections drag? Which parts could be improved?
- Was the pacing consistent, or did it feel uneven?
- Did the dialogue fit the characters and feel natural?
- Was the ending satisfying, providing good closure?
I offer In-line comments with real-time reader reactions and honest feedback on plot, pacing, and structure and a detailed beta report that clearly breaks down your story and suggests improvements. I always aim to balance honesty with encouragement, so you know what's working, just as much as what can be improved.
Thank you!

This was my 3rd time working with Shreya and I couldn't be happier with the results. She has been following my writing journey since the 1st book I wrote and helped me greatly in my development as an author.

I like how quick she gave the feedback. She explained it very well in a two page summary. It was very honest feedback and I would definitely work with her again. It would have been nice to get more in-line reactions like real time emotions when reading. The comments stopped 2/3 of the book in.
