Ana P  | 42 comments Hi! I’m Ana Porter, a passionate bibliophile 📚 with over 10 years of experience exploring romance in all its forms—romantasy, dark romance, fantasy, the supernatural 🦇, and everything in between. As a beta reader, I’ve had the privilege of working on 15 manuscripts, offering thoughtful insights ✍️ and real-time reactions 💡 to help authors refine their stories.

I’ve navigated the seas of romance 🌊, from swoon-worthy Regency tales 👒 and Bridgerton vibes 💌 to angsty vampires 🧛‍♀️ and epic love stories 💕. I’m here to provide detailed feedback that captures the heart of your narrative while ensuring your characters and plot truly shine ✨.

Oh, and did I mention I’m bilingual? 🌎 Whether your manuscript is in English or Spanish, I’ve got you covered. Want to chat about your book? You can email me at 15porterhernandezanapaula@gmail.com 📧 or visit my website at https://passionatebibliophile0.wordpr...💻. Let’s bring your story to life—one heart-fluttering chapter at a time!

T.L. Martin | 96 comments I meant to leave this comment a while ago, but my schedule has been hectic. (Sorry, Ana!)

I was fortunate enough to work with Ana on one of my manuscripts, and I can easily recommend her to anyone looking for a beta reader.

Ana got through my ms in record time (literally -- I'm not sure I've ever had someone beta read that fast). She left inline comments throughout as she read which indicated which parts made her laugh, where she thought more detail could be added, etc. In addition to this, she also sent a report in the end summarising all the areas I asked to be covered (and more).

I found her feedback helpful and encouraging, and she was also consistently professional and pleasant to work with! I'm looking forward to working with her more in the future.

Marianna Porterfield | 2 comments Ana gave me some of the kindest, most thoughtful feedback I’ve ever received.

She not only pointed out what was working in my story (which gave me a much-needed confidence boost), but also offered clear, insightful suggestions that helped me see my work from a new perspective. Her notes on POV balance, world grounding, and character clarity were spot on—and always delivered with care and encouragement.

She has a real talent for understanding the heart of a story and communicating her thoughts in a way that makes you excited to revise. As someone who’s still learning and growing, I felt truly seen and supported by her approach.

If you’re a writer looking for a fresh, empathetic, and sharp set of eyes on your project—I couldn’t recommend Ana more. I can’t wait to work with her again!


message 7: by Evan (new)

Evan | 2 comments A lot of what I'm going to say here is things other people already said about Ana, but that's because it's all true!
-Firstly, she got through my manuscript incredibly quickly! Though mine was only around 30k words, she got through it in a matter of hours after I sent it on the same day, and it was clear she didn't just skim it based on all her detailed feedback

-Second, and most importantly, is her extremely positive attitude. I haven't worked with many beta readers, mostly just critiques in classes at schools, but her ability to find the positives and point them out is both great motivation and helps the author understand what their strengths are, rather than solely what they need to work on

Overall, if you're a new author or someone who struggles to get their daily words in without receiving positive feedback from others, Ana is an excellent choice as a beta reader to give you that push and let you understand that you are good at your craft and why you're good at it
