I love how she is a human and not AI (I have dealt with several AI beta reviewers). Her inline comments were helpful in noticing both good things about my book, and things that should be adjusted

FAQ
What is included with my beta read?
My beta read includes in-line comments highlighting strengths and areas for improvement, plus a detailed reader's report covering plot, pacing, character development, world-building, and overall story structure.
Do I provide editing as part of my beta read?
Please note that editing is not included in this beta read. If you're interested in editing alongside your beta read, send me a message and we can create a customized package.
Are there any genres or content I don’t work with?
While I strive to provide valuable feedback across a wide range of genres, I am not well-versed in religious fiction or non-fiction. As a result, I may not be the best fit for manuscripts in those categories. If you're unsure whether your project falls within my scope, feel free to message me.
Do I use AI in my beta reading process?
No—every part of my beta reading process is 100% human. When you hire me, you’re receiving my personal insights, experience, and attention to detail—not feedback generated by AI. I take pride in providing thoughtful critiques that respect the creative work you’ve put into your manuscript.

Shelby did a fantastic job with this reading, and I was impressed how objective the criticism was despite science fiction not being her usual genre. The report gave me some valuable insight to help pick up on the points and concepts in my story that didn't fully land or could be improved. Great editor, I would absolutely recommend!
