About this Gig
Vetted Pro
Move your novel to the next level with an expert editorial 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 creatives finesse their creative 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 your work.
I will provide a constructive, discerning reader report, with my overall assessment on:
- Readability: here I address the flow of the story, points that dragged or were rushed, points where there was any confusion.
- Emotional impact and reader engagement: here I address how effectively the story and characters resonate for the reader, and general enjoyability.
My report will also include specific feedback on:
- Writing style
- Plot and any obvious plot holes/inconsistencies
- Characters and character arcs
Should you have any specific questions or points of uncertainty about your work, please feel free to include those in your order and I will address those in my report.

FAQ
My work lies somewhere between the word count bands in your package. Will you still charge the full amount?
If the word count of your piece lies somewhere between the word count bands, send me a message with the exact word count, and I'll reply with a Custom Offer to save you money.
Do you accept longer works of fiction?
Absolutely. Provide me with the exact word count and I’ll be pleased to provide a Custom Offer.
What can I expect when you deliver the critique of my work?
My Beta Reader Reports vary in length depending on the complexity of the work and how much support I need to provide. As a minimum, my Beta Reader reports are 4+ pages for short works, up to 15+ pages for longer works.
Do you use AI?
I do not use AI in any way. I am the only person reading your work and writing the reader report. My expertise and experience is what you are paying for. And that is what you will get!
What's your process in reading my work and preparing your report?
Depending on the length of your work, I will aim to read your piece in one (or more) sittings over consecutive days, compiling comments and reactions as I go. After reading, I spend several hours reviewing my comments and preparing the reader report. I usually work on one project at a time.
