FAQ
What is beta reading?
Beta reading is providing feedback on your manuscript from a reader’s perspective. I focus on plot, characters, pacing, dialogue, world-building, and overall reader engagement to help your story connect with your audience.
What’s the difference between beta reading and developmental editing?
Beta reading gives you reader-focused feedback on story flow and engagement. Developmental editing goes deeper, addressing structural issues, plot holes, character arcs, and manuscript organization, while offering actionable recommendations for improvement.
What genres do you edit?
I specialize in fantasy, sci-fi, romance, YA, Christian books, memoirs, fiction, and nonfiction
What file formats do you accept?
I can work with Word (.doc, .docx), PDF, and Google Docs.
Will you correct grammar and spelling?
My primary focus is on story structure, character, and readability. For grammar, punctuation, and formatting, I offer separate proofreading and line editing services.
Can you help with publishing?
Yes! I provide formatting and Amazon KDP publishing support, helping your manuscript become market-ready.
How soon will I get my feedback?
Delivery times vary by word count. For example, a 7,000-word manuscript typically takes 3–5 days for beta reading.
