I will beta read your fiction manuscript
Fiction Beta Reader and Manuscript Reviewer
About this Gig
Your manuscript deserves more than "I loved it!"
Welcome to The Reader's Verdict by The Petty Margin, where honest feedback meets a little literary attitude.
I'm an avid fiction reader with over 15 years of reading experience, averaging 130160 books annually. I provide thoughtful, candid beta-reading feedback to help authors strengthen their stories while preserving their unique voices.
WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE:
- Your manuscript with inline comments identifying plot holes, inconsistencies, confusing moments, and genuine reader reactions.
- A separate reader report covering plot, pacing, character development, dialogue, and overall engagement.
- Honest insight into what works, what needs improvement, and what made me question everyone's life choices.
I welcome fiction across genres, including romance, thrillers, mystery, fantasy, and literary fiction.
Please note: This is beta reading, not proofreading, professional editing, or ghostwriting.
Every genre. Every plot hole. No sugarcoating.
