Submitting your manuscript to a beta-read is one of the best ways to ensure that your writing will meet your intended audience. Often one of the last polishing steps before hitting the publish button, I want to help ensure you reach your audience. And sometimes you need a second set of unbiased eyes to look it over.
With a beta-read, I would include a Reader Report that will detail the strengths and weaknesses of your story.
If you have an additional questionnaire that you would like completed, it is included as part of the pricing.
All Reader Reports are delivered as a PDF file. Contact me directly for a custom offer if you have a large word count (over 80K words), so you may receive a proper timeframe.
I have been beta-reading for the last 15 years. I started beta-reading for writing critique groups in high school and have been doing it since.
I have worked with all genres of fiction. From Contemporary to Fantasy/Science Fiction.
I specialize most in Fantasy and Romance, but I will with all genres of fiction.
For my beta-reads I will only accept .pdf files as they do save space. I will not be editing your actual document unless the proofreading extra is included.
If you've selected the proofreading extra, please upload a .DOCX format. As I use Track Changes to fix the errors.
No. Unless you have added on the proofreading, I will not be editing your actual manuscrpit.
That's awesome! If you would like to work with me long-term for your series after your first order, please let me know as series authors will receive a discount.
Each book in a series will need to be a separate order.
All of my Reader Reports will be sent as separate .pdf files.
Some authors have a specific set of questions they want to be answered when it comes to their beta-reading. It really helps you keep track of where the patterns lie in your stories.
If you are one of those authors, awesome! Please include it in the requirements, and leave me a note as to whether or not you still would like a separate Reader Report.
