Beta Reading Service

You are probably thinking: why hire a Beta Reader?

A Beta Reader is someone who reads a manuscript or unpublished work as a reader, not an editor. I am coming from the perspective of a reader who loves to become engaged with lovable characters and an intriguing plot. This is important as you will want to know the opinion of readers, and not just editors.

Beta Readers will not check for things like grammar, sentence structure, etc, yet if the issue is persisting throughout the work I might make a mention of it.

Beta Readers provide detailed notes and feedback on character developments, story arcs, pacing, inconsistencies, and dialogue. As an avid reader and teacher, I can provide a unique perspective as I not only read for fun, but I also teach these aspects of literature to teenagers and engage in conversations with teenagers and young adults regarding what they find interesting to read. I also have earned a Bachelors Degree in History, so if your work is historical fiction, I can provide insight into historical events from an academic standpoint.
