    I honestly don't know that I have ever received a beta read this thorough. The level of detail was almost unbelievable. She didn't just read the book and give me some general thoughts at the end. She went chapter by chapter and really dug into the characters, pacing, emotional moments, continuity, world...

    I am beyond pleased with Vivienne H's beta read report of my novel. She did an amazing job and her comments will help make my book better. I feel like she is the beta reader I've been waiting for. She understood the material, the genre, and was amazingly specific with her comments. Her constructive criticism,...

    Vivienne exceeded my expectations. I ordered a beta read for a full memoir and received an incredibly detailed, thoughtful report that went far beyond a standard reader response. Her feedback was almost book-length, with specific chapter-by-chapter notes, honest reader reactions, and clear suggestions...

    Vivienne was a fantastic beta reader. She delivered detailed, actionable feedback on time and wasn’t afraid to point out what wasn’t working while also recognising the strengths of the story. Her insights helped me see the manuscript from a reader’s perspective, and I’d gladly have her on my beta team again.

    Vivienne was quick to reply and agreed to review the first 50k words of my manuscript. I had specific concerns regarding whether the beginning of the novel was too slow or boring. Vivienne wrote an insightful and very detailed report. She captured a few things I already knew and a few new ones. Her...
