About this Gig
If you need more than surface-level feedback on your manuscript, you're in the right place.
I provide emotionally intelligent, developmental-style beta reading designed to help writers understand how their work truly lands with readers. My feedback focuses on reader experience, identifying where your story is compelling, where engagement drops, and how pacing, character, and emotional resonance can be strengthened.
As an MA Creative Writing student at the University of Cambridge with a professional background in executive communications and storytelling, I bring both analytical and reader-focused insight to every manuscript.
I specialise in:
- Fiction
- Womens fiction
- Literary fiction
- Memoir
- Emotionally driven narratives
- Character-led storytelling
My feedback may include:
- Plot and structural observations
- Dialogue and narrative flow insights
- My honest reader reactions
- Detailed reader reports with actionable recommendations
Whether you are preparing to query agents or self-publish, I will provide thoughtful, constructive feedback that supports your creative vision while challenging your work to reach it's potential
