I will beta read and give feedback and critique

Your manuscript represents hours of hard work. Before sharing it with agents, publishers, or readers, get honest, thoughtful feedback on what works, what needs improvement, and how to make your story stronger.

I know the feeling of showing others your work. I get the frustration of getting stuck. I've been a novice. I got my foot in the door. I have published two literary novels and self-published crime fiction. I worked as a film/travel journalist and have reviewed crime fiction. I have a master's in film and have worked in the film industry; I recognize a good story when I see one.

What Ill Evaluate:

Plot, structure & pacing

Character development & believability

Opening chapters & reader engagement

Dialogue, tone & narrative voice

Tension, rhythm & emotional impact

Chapter openings & endings

Continuity, inconsistencies & confusing scenes

Target audience & genre expectations

Strengths, weaknesses & improvement opportunities

My feedback is honest, encouraging, and actionable.
