About this Gig

Are you a writer or aspiring writer who wants their dreams of getting published to come true? Need help fine-tuning your story and want to make it stronger? And do you need objective, helpful, encouraging feedback that tells why something is or isn't working and how to fix it?


This gig might be for you.


As an avid reader and published author, I'm in the same boat as you are. For me, writing is not a competition but a rigorous and sometimes lonely journey filled with self-doubt, anxiety, and other familiar emotions. It doesn't have to be that way, and I'm here to support you on your creative journey.


My preferred genres are YA, MG, and Mystery, but I am open to almost anything but politely ask for a message first.


I will thoroughly read through your story, offer in-line text thoughts as I progress through the text, and write a detailed report with overall impressions.


I strongly believe in the golden rule of treating others the way you'd like. For my fellow authors in progress, I will never belittle, discourage, or ruin your day with unhelpful feedback.

Genre:

Children’s books

Horror/ thriller

Literary fiction

Mystery

    I hired William for a beta read of an MG fantasy manuscript, and I feel like he definitely went above and beyond. He gave me a lot of inline comments that were super helpful, as well as a reader report. Well worth the price, and I'll most certainly be reaching out in the future with other manuscripts. Thanks so much William!

    I enjoyed working with William. He made some good beta-read suggestions to improve my story. His attention to detail is exemplary. He pointed out some wording or character traits I had not noticed. His attention to detail is amazing. I would highly recommend his service. I look forward to working with him again.

    This is my second time having William as a beta reader and he exceeded my expectations once again. He goes through and tells you his real thoughts and opinions and suggestions. Afterwards he gives you a thorough review of your whole story and the pros/cons. I'll continue to be a repeat customer!

    Quick turnaround. Mentioned what he thought was good. Told me the places where the story needed work, and where things were awkwardly worded or confusing. And he gave some examples.
