About this Gig


Please message me before placing your order. I will tell you my availability.


I am looking forward to reading your middle grade novel! I'm a mother of four, a former teacher of fifteen years of elementary, middle, and high school, and a voracious reader. I particularly love the magical, wonderful middle-grade stage when children can immerse themselves in longer, richer, and more diverse novels.


As a beta reader, I will provide in-line comments as I read your manuscript. I will tell you what my impressions are regarding:

  • Your opening scene (does it grab me?)
  • Your characters
  • Pacing
  • Tension
  • Any plot holes I stumble into


I will also compile a reader report discussing readability and delving into the plot, characters, world building, dialog, flow/pacing, and strengths/weaknesses.


If you prefer a heftier reader report and no in-line comments, please specify.


I handle your manuscript with care and consideration. I do not use AI. And I do not sugar coat--I know you come to me because you want a real reader's thoughts.


If you have any specific questions you want me to address when I create your report, please tell me.

Genre:

Children’s books

Language:

English

Delivery style preference

Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

    Hi Stella, Thank you so much for reading Harry A Lemming and for such heart-felt notes. I felt so inspired reading your comments - as if someone understands me. I am so lucky to have sent the manuscript your way. Thank you for being so generous with your feedback. The toughest thing right now for me...

    I trust Stella. She is thorough and thoughtful, kind and honest. Her analysis and comments make me a better writer. It is clear that she takes her time to read and absorb the manuscript. I simply cannot imagine a better Beta reader.
