Beta Reading

What's Included

• Reader's Report: a comprehensive written overview of your manuscript's strengths, pacing, and areas for improvement
• Inline Annotations: comments and notes throughout the text marking moments that worked, moments that didn't, and questions that came up.
• Character & Voice Feedback: honest impressions of how your characters and narrative voice land on the page.
• Pacing & Structure Notes: observations on where the manuscript engages, drags, or loses momentum.

What I Work With

I adore working with:

• Literary fiction, speculative fiction, and experimental narratives
• Personal essays, memoirs, and creative non-fiction
• Zines, chapbooks, and independent publications

My Process

Every project begins with you and what'll serve you best. I provide:

• A brief exchange so I understand your goals and any specific areas of focus
• Feedback framed around your vision, not my preferences
• A detailed reader's report alongside your annotated manuscript
• A follow-up round of questions if anything in my feedback needs clarifying
