About this Gig

Have you finished working on your latest piece of writing? Are you looking for a second pair of eyes to look through it and give you some supportive, thorough, professional feedback? If so, I am here to help with your short story, chapter, novel, nonfiction book or any other document as a beta reader.


I am an experienced editor and a published nonfiction author, with sixteen years' experience in the UK trade publishing industry and a serious appreciation for the written word. I will go through your work from the point of view of a reader, adding comments as I go, and send you a reader's report of between 500 and 900 words.


My areas of review for fiction are:


  • Opening scene
  • Setting
  • Plot
  • Characters
  • Dialogue
  • Style


For nonfiction I will look at:


  • Opening
  • Structure
  • Style and tone


I can work in either Microsoft Word or Google Documents.

    Excellent beta reading report and just what I was looking for. Picked up on a number of things I had missed/hadn't thought of. Great value for money and highly recommended for any writer looking to improve their manuscript.

    Excellent. He was communicative. He made the delivery date, presented a great Reader Report, and line edits. The suggestions he gave were presented in a diplomatic and helpful manner. His suggestions will assist me to write a better next draft and be a better writer. I plan to work with him in the near future.
