Annette Beatwell (annetteb) | 28 comments Has your storyline got away from you?
Are you not sure if it makes sense anymore?
Are your characters out of control and misbehaving?
Is your story ready?

You need someone else to read your story and spot things you keep missing.

As an experienced beta reader, I will act as a thoughtful audience, looking out for the problems and praising the good bits. I will make in-text comments so that you can see my immediate reactions. I will also provide a detailed report examining my response to your plot, characters and story-telling.

I read widely but am most experienced with fantasy, science fiction, literary fiction and magical realism. Horror and modern romance aren’t my thing, so I may not be your best choice if your work is in those genres.

I charge £1 per 1,000 words and have slots available in late June and July.

If you think I can help, contact me via my website www.beatwelleditorial.co.uk or email me at annette@beatwelleditorial.co.uk.

But please note that the last carrier pigeon someone tried got lost somewhere over London.

Annette Beatwell (annetteb) | 28 comments Hi everyone,
I’m a beta reader now accepting bookings for July and August. I’d love some epic reads for summer!

You have been working on your manuscript for months. You have drafted it, redrafted it, thrown it into a drawer for weeks, taken it out again, and self-edited it. Now what?

You need a fresh set of eyes to cheer you on – and to notice the glaring plot hole in chapter 11.

My rate for beta reading is £1 per 1,000 words.

If you hire me to proofread the same work within six months, I deduct the cost of the beta read from your bill!

You can find out more about me (spoiler – it’s mostly about books) and read my testimonials on my website www.beatwelleditorial.co.uk.
