About this Gig
Vetted Pro
Move your memoir or biography to publishable level with an expert beta reader report with clear actionable recommendations to enhance your work.
I am a successfully published, best-selling author, with multiple Kirkus-starred reviews, and over 25 years editorial experience, helping other authors finesse their output. Based on my extensive international publishing success and experience, I will read your work with an expert eye for what works, what could be improved, and questions that I was left with after reading.
I will provide a constructive, discerning beta reader report, with my overall assessment on:

My report will also include specific feedback on:
- Writing style
- Narrative arc development
- Honesty, vulnerability & reflection (key ingredients)
- Tone & Voice
