I will beta read your fiction manuscript
About this Gig
Writing is a deeply personal process, but having a second set of eyes can make the revision process significantly clearer and more effective.
I will beta read your fiction manuscript and provide structured, honest feedback designed to show how your story reads to an outside audience.
I specialize in fantasy, science fiction, and horror, with a strong focus on atmosphere, pacing, character voice, and narrative tension. I am also widely read across fiction and comfortable providing feedback on most genres.
You will receive a structured reader report covering:
- Overall impression
- Strengths of your work (character, atmosphere, voice, etc.)
- Areas for improvement (pacing, dialogue, structure, etc.)
- Reader experience notes (confusion points, engagement dips, etc.)
- Key standout moments
- Final summary with constructive suggestions
My aim is to provide honest, thoughtful feedback that supports and encourages improvement. I approach every manuscript with care, respect, and close attention to detail, whether it is a short story, novella, or full-length manuscript.

FAQ
Do you only read fantasy, science fiction, and horror?
These are my main specialties. However, I am widely read across genres and comfortable providing feedback on most forms of fiction.
Do you use AI or share the manuscript with anyone?
No. I use no AI while working. Your manuscript will never be seen by anything or anyone other than myself.
Do you edit grammar or proofread?
No. This service focuses on story-level feedback such as pacing, structure, clarity, characterization, and reader experience rather than line editing or proofreading.
Can I submit a work in progress?
Yes. You may submit short stories, chapters, or unfinished manuscripts. Feedback can be especially helpful during the drafting process.
Do you read sensitive material?
Yes. I regularly work with fiction that includes mature or sensitive themes, and I approach all manuscripts with professionalism and respect.
