About this Gig

Finding a good beta reader can be tough. As a published author of four romance novels, I can relate to that pain. My professional beta reading services will assist in improving your manuscript utilizing positive feedback and gentle honesty that will always maintain your unique author voice.  


Beta readers are generally the first to critique your manuscript, to take your polished book baby and offer suggestions to make it shine even more. A good beta reader will offer constructive criticism and point out inconsistencies, plot holes, and other manuscript issues the author might have missed.


When you collaborate with me, you will receive a constructive critique. I will provide comments via Track Changes within Microsoft Word. (If you do not have Microsoft Word, please contact me and we can discuss alternative methods.) You will also receive a separate detailed report, commenting on:


  • Opening Scene
  • Characterization and Motivation
  • Plot and Conflict
  • Pacing
  • Setting and Worldbuilding
  • Dialogue
  • Craft
  • Overall Impressions

Please note that this is not a proofreading or copy editing gig, however I will point out any errors I notice while completing the beta read. 

Genre:

Romance

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.

    I was very happy with Susan's beta reader comments on my novel. She exceeded my expectations by also pointing out grammatical errors and typos. Not only did she point out the errors, she enlightened me on the grammatical rules I was breaking, i.e., not just giving me fish, but teaching me to fish for myself and become a better author.

    Susan delivered a strong beta read with genuinely useful observations on the manuscript as a whole. Her feedback was thoughtful, balanced, and constructive, and she communicated clearly and professionally from start to finish. A great choice for writers looking for a careful, attentive reader who takes the work seriously!

    Susan is wonderful to work with, has a keen eye for mistakes, but can also give you encouraging feedback while still being constructive. I love how she connects with the characters and puts herself in their shoes to make it the best story.

    Susan gave me some very good points to work on and she encouraged me by sharing her thoughts and feelings at different points of my story. I truly enjoyed working with her and I'll be going back.
