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.

    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.

    Taylor is an expert in her craft. She provided valuable feedback but in a way that's encouraging and constructive at the same time. She doesn't tell you what to do. She asks questions to coach you, to help you think things through. She is very detailed-oriented, which I really appreciate. She kept me...
