What I offer: Beta reading that's closer to what you'd get with a high-priced developmental edit. I'll find what isn't working, why it isn't working, and how you can improve your manuscript. I also know when not to comment. If something's working, I won't say it's not just to make it appear as if I've 'worked harder.' A good beta knows when to say nothing at all.
I'll focus on:
My connection to the character (Am I rooting for them?)
Lack of tension/conflict in pages (Am I bored?)
Story arc (Am I satisfied?)
Info dumps (Am I yawning?)
Plot holes (Am I confused anywhere?)
Descriptions (Am I immersed?)
Why pick me: Because I care about you and your writing journey.
What you'll get:
HONEST but kind In-line comments.
Real-time reactions
Corrected dialogue tags/action beats
Corrected grammar/syntax (if I spot them)
Suggestions for improvement
5+ page reader report.
Someone willing to answer your questions and brainstorm long after you've accepted my order.
Preferred genres: Romance, rom com, mystery, thriller, spec, procedural, fantasy, sci-fi
Middle grade accepted!
