About this Gig

Hi. My name is Susanne. As an avid reader with a passion for stories, I go through about two books a week. While mostly I have read literary fiction and the classics, in recent years I have leaned more towards romance and genre fiction. I have spent my life working in the art world in the United States and am currently doing my masters in art history in Sweden.

 

My beta reading process has two steps.

 

1. A straight read, like I would read any book.


2. A detailed read with comments inserted throughout. Here, I focus on parts where I found the writing confusing, scenes taking too long, ending too soon, and anything causing me to read back or break from the story. I also look out for:


  • Character likeability, building, development, and consistency
  • Action and scene plausibility, continuity
  • Plot and pacing
  • World-building
  • Tone and point of view consistency
  • Light language: syntax, spelling, and word choice

Genre:

Literary fiction

Romance

Language:

English

Swedish

    Another stellar delivery - I'm so grateful for the feedback, it's thorough, insightful and really taking the manuscript/story into account. I will absolutely not hesitate to use Susanne in future. She not only provided excellent beta feedback but also some proofreading and editing notes as well - outstanding!

    Fantastic feedback again - nailed the brief and provided an overall summary as well as a detailed breakdown along with suggestions and immediate reactions/reflections. I would have no hesitation in using them again for any future works. Good beta readers are hard to find, but if you're in the market, look no further! Thanks so much!
