About this Gig
If your manuscript is raw, visceral, and refuses to pull punches, you found the right beta reader. I specialize in fiction that explores the darker, grittier corners of human nature, where atmospheric tension meets psychological dread and cosmic horror.
Whether your prose is minimalist and bleak, fast-paced and transgressive, or focused on building spine-chilling terror and existential dread against forces beyond human comprehension, I will analyze the heartbeat of your story.
What I focus on during my reading:
- Atmospheric Density: Is the world desolating and immersive? Does the tension feel heavy on every page?
- Character Grit & Dialogue: Are your characters complex, flawed, and pushed to their absolute limits? Is the dialogue sharp and punchy?
- Pacing & Dread: Does the momentum match the urgency of your action? Is the psychological horror earned?
- Plot Logic & The Gut-Punch: Are there plot holes? Does the climax deliver the unsettling impact your readers crave?
You will receive a detailed, structured Beta Reading Report with honest reactions and actionable feedback to elevate your book.
I accept English and Portuguese manuscripts. Lets make your story unforgettable!

FAQ
Do you accept manuscripts written in Portuguese?
Yes! I am fully bilingual and accept manuscripts written in both English and Portuguese. Your final Beta Reading Report can be delivered in either language, depending on your preference.
What exactly will I receive in the Beta Reading Report?
You will receive a structured PDF report breaking down my honest, analytical reader reactions. It includes a chapter-by-chapter overview (or key scene breakdown), and deep-dive sections on atmospheric density, character grit, dialogue sharpness, pacing, and plot logic.
My book has violence and dark themes. Do you have any content boundaries?
welcome grimdark, cosmic horror, and psychological dread, but I do not accept manuscripts featuring extreme gore, gratuitous graphic violence, or content that crosses into shock value. If your story focuses on tension and atmosphere rather than pure exploitation, we are a great fit.
Do you offer proofreading or line editing with this Gig?
No, this Gig is strictly for beta reading (structural, developmental, and reader-response feedback). While I might point out glaring inconsistencies, I do not fix grammar or typos. My focus is on the heartbeat, tension, and impact of your story.
What file formats do you accept for the manuscript?
I prefer Microsoft Word (.docx) or Google Docs, as they allow me to easily keep track of my reading pace and leave specific notes if needed. However, I can also accept clean PDF files. Please ensure your manuscript is formatted in a readable font (like Times New Roman or Arial).
My manuscript’s word count doesn’t match your packages. Can I get a custom offer?
Yes, definitely! If your book is a short story, a novella, or an epic novel that exceeds my premium package, just send me a message with your exact word count. I will create a tailored custom offer with a fair price and delivery time just for you.
Do you read unfinished manuscripts or partial drafts?
Yes. I can beta read partial drafts, opening chapters, or unfinished manuscripts, provided they meet the minimum word count of my basic package. This is a great option if you want to test if your story’s atmosphere, pacing, and hook are working before finishing the book.
