Are you looking for a new beta reader to provide some fresh perspective on your work?
As your beta reader, I will strive to provide you with positive and constructive feedback. My aim is to highlight the parts of your story that are already fantastic along with the parts that may benefit from further tinkering.
I encourage you to include specific questions or concerns for me to mull over and answer as part of my reader report. Are you worried a certain plot point is too predictable, or that an important character comes off as too unlikeable? Please let me know.

I offer a free beta read of your novel’s first chapter, so please message me if this offer interests you. I’ll provide you a reader report summary and include my first impression comments in your manuscript. If you’re pleased with the results and wish to continue with me as your reader, I encourage you to check out my rates on Fiverr.
About me: I’m still new to the world of professional beta reading, though I’ve been reading and giving feedback to my writer friends for a long time. I mostly read genres like romance, sci-fi/speculative, and mystery/thriller, but I’m available to read all types of fiction. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and I just completed my copyediting certificate through UCSD. I have a passion for understanding story structure, and I greatly enjoy working with authors to find ways to make their writing more resonant and satisfying for readers.
I look forward to hearing from you!!
