What does the feedback report look like?
You'll receive a structured written report covering plot & pacing, characters, dialogue, consistency issues, emotional impact, and overall reader experience. Standard and Premium orders also include chapter-by-chapter notes.
Will you proofread or edit my manuscript?
Beta reading is a reader-perspective service, not a line edit or proofread. I focus on story, structure, and reader experience not grammar or spelling. Check my other gigs for editing services!
Is my manuscript confidential?
Absolutely. Your work is completely private. I do not share, discuss, or reproduce any part of your manuscript with anyone. Your story stays yours.
My word count is higher than your Premium limit can you still help?
Yes! Message me before ordering and we'll work out a custom quote based on your word count.
How do I send you my manuscript?
Once you place your order I'll send you a Google Doc link or you can share a Word document (.docx). Either works perfectly.
Do you give negative feedback?
I give honest feedback which sometimes includes things that aren't working. But I always frame it constructively and respectfully. My goal is to help your story succeed, not to tear it down.
