FAQ
What genres do you beta read?
I specialize exclusively in cozy mystery fiction, no thrillers, no hard-boiled crime. This focus means I know the genre's expectations deeply and give you targeted, relevant feedback.
What does your beta reading include?
Every read includes a full manuscript critique covering plot logic, pacing, character voice, red herrings, and cozy mystery genre conventions, all delivered from a developmental editor's perspective.
How long will my manuscript take?
Turnaround depends on word count and my current queue. Message me with your manuscript length before ordering, and I'll give you an honest timeline so there are no surprises.
Is this a proofread or a developmental edit?
Neither, it is beta reading with a developmental lens. I focus on big-picture story issues: structure, tension, character arcs, and genre fit. I don't correct grammar or line-edit sentences.
What file format should I send?
A Word document (.docx) works best. PDF is also fine. Please use a double-spaced 12pt font with page numbers so my notes are easy to reference when you review the feedback.
