About this Gig
Your LGBTQ romance deserves a reader who truly gets it, not someone who read about queer experiences, but someone who lives them and reads your story the way your real audience will.
I offer combined beta reading and sensitivity reading for LGBTQ romance, MM romance, sapphic romance, queer fiction, and non-binary narratives.
What you will receive:
- Sensitivity read: flagging harmful tropes, misrepresentation and stereotypes your queer readers will catch
- Beta reading: feedback on pacing, emotional beats and whether your romance truly lands
- Honest Feedback: on character authenticity , do your queer characters feel real or written from the outside?
- Inline comments: via Words Document so you see exactly where and why your story works.
Every note is specific to your manuscript, your characters, and the queer fiction community you are writing for.
For MM romance, sapphic romance, or any Queer fiction whether you are inside or outside the community.
Ready to make your story something queer readers recommend to everyone they know?

FAQ
What word count do you cover per package?
Basic covers up to 10,000 words , ideal for a single chapter or short story. Standard covers up to 35,000 words for novellas or partial manuscripts. Premium covers up to 80,000 words for full LGBTQ romance novels. Message me for anything longer.
Do you read MM romance and sapphic romance specifically?
Yes, MM romance and sapphic romance are my primary focus areas. I also read non-binary narratives, bisexual romance, and broader queer fiction. If your story sits within LGBTQ+ romance, you are in the right place.
What is the difference between your beta reading and sensitivity reading?
Beta reading covers the story experience — pacing, emotional pull, plot flow, and whether the romance lands. Sensitivity reading focuses specifically on queer representation,checking for harmful tropes, inauthentic dialogue, and stereotypes the LGBTQ+ community will notice. My service gives you bo
How will you deliver my feedback?
All feedback is delivered via Google Docs pr words document with inline comments so you see exactly which line or scene each note refers to, plus a summary report at the end covering overall impressions, what works well, and specific areas to revise.
I am not part of the LGBTQ+ community, can you still help me?
Absolutely , many of my clients write outside their own experience, which is exactly why a queer sensitivity read matters. My feedback will help you write queer characters that feel fully human, not like a straight writer's idea of what queer looks like.
Do you use AI tools to read or review my manuscript?
No, and I want to be completely upfront about that. Every word of feedback you receive comes from me reading your manuscript myself, as a real human reader who exists within the LGBTQ+ community.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Absolutely, your story stays between us. I will never share, discuss, post about, or reference your manuscript with anyone outside of our working relationship. I do not keep copies of your work after the order is complete, and I will never use your story as a portfolio sample without your permission
How long will it take to receive my feedback?
Delivery times depend on your package — Basic is 4days, Standard is 7days, and Premium is 14days. These are realistic timelines that allow me to read carefully and give your manuscript the attention it deserves, not a rushed skim. If your deadline is tighter than that, message me.

I liked working with Steve as a beta reader. He gave me chapter-by-chapter feedback and then an outstanding overall summary of his observations. Finally, when I asked for specific examples of general themes he had highlighted, he produced those details. Everything was delivered on time or even ahead of schedule. Thank you!
