About this Gig
For passionate authors who dream of traditionally publishing their young adult stories, a supportive team is essential. I'm a fellow writer and professionally-trained editor with a passion for YA literature, and I'll use my expertise to give you the kind of honest, constructive feedback I look for on my own young adult fiction at an affordable price.
My beta reader feedback plans are custom to ensure effectiveness and accessibility for all writers. Your plan can include
- Feedback on your entire story or select chapters
- Detailed in-line commentary throughout the draft
- A researched list of comparable YA media for use when pitching and publishing
- Optional beta reading progress updates
My qualifications:
- Five years of professional experience beta reading YA fiction, including traditionally published novels
- Professional training as a writing consultant and editor
- Reader and writer of young adult literature
- Deep understanding of your young adult target audience though both professional research and personal experience
Whatever your YA publishing journey holds, I'm here to be your book's newest fan and support you long after I've sent my feedback.
Message me today to begin.

FAQ
Will you provide sample feedback before a purchase?
Of course! If you're interested in getting a sample of my feedback to see if my beta reading style is right for you, I will provide a sample of my in-line commentary on a selection of up to 1,000 words of your story. Message me for more information.
Can you customize the pricing or delivery time of an order?
Of course! All feedback plans are custom, and I want to make sure my feedback is as accessible and affordable. If you need an option that works better for you, message me to begin creating a beta reading plan that fits your story, your timeline, and your budget.
Will you sign an NDA?
Of course! I already keep all of my beta reading work confidential, and I'm also willing to sign an NDA.
What genres will you read?
Any genres! I'm willing to beta read all genres that fall within the young adult and new adult categories. Some of my beta reading specialties include fantasy, romance, paranormal, historical, and contemporary fiction.
What story elements will you provide feedback on?
Every story is unique, so I will work with you to answer questions and address issues specific to your story. Some major story elements I will pay attention to include characters and relationships, world building, plot, pacing, and theme.
Have any projects you've worked on been published?
Yes! Several stories I've worked on have been either traditionally published or self published. One of the most recent is the novel Summer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff. Other novels are currently in the process of publication, and I look forward to their debuts!

Taylor did a great job. Very detailed and provided so much great feedback. She was polite and honest in her review. This is my 3rd time hiring a Beta Reader. The others were great, and I gave them 5 stars. However, after working with Taylor I feel like there should be a 6 or 7 star option. She was that much better.
