Manuscript reader jobs services

Congratulations on completing the first step on the road to being published; completing your manuscript!  As a writer myself, I know how much of a huge accomplishment this is, and you should be proud of the work you’ve done. I also know you probably have allowed close friends and family members the chance to read it, but they probably just said “Great job. I’m proud of you,” but that isn’t enough insight needed before publishing your manuscript.  That’s where bookworms and writers come in, like me!     I am Dervé, a published poet with a bachelors in creative writing, so I know how important it is to have someone else look over your work. I would love to provide genuine insight for you on your manuscript.  You Will Get: -A detailed one page report -Genuine feedback written with consideration and respect  -Confidentiality -Another set of eyes on the look out for readability, stanza structure, word choice, cohesion, character development and more  Literature Genres Include: -Fiction-Self-Help-Poetry -Chick Lit-Young Adult

Unfortunately, your family and friends will not always be honest with you about your writing. Their job is to be supportive, not blunt and honest. This means that you need to get your book out to other readers and writers who know what a successful story takes: consistent narrative framing (or intentional deviation)insightful worldbuildingdistinct charactersmore things than I can list in the text limitand, of course, hours of blood, sweat, tears, and mental breakdowns My job is to give you substantive and incisive feedback: to comb your manuscript for the central themes and ideas of your story, to analyze how well you communicated that core, and to let you know. When you go into your next round of edits, I want you to be encouraged by what works and motivated to change what doesn't. I am an avid reader of science fiction and fantasy of all ages and have a B.S. in Creative Writing from MIT specializing in genre fiction. I will provide a report of your book detailing what I liked and didn't like about the prose, worldbuilding, characters, pacing, and plot, as well as sample line edits. Please contact me to discuss details before you order.

Hi! I'm Alice. I have been a beta reader and critique partner for multiple published writers. I would love to help you get someone else's perspective on your work. I will provide an objective opinion accompanied by my education, studies, and experience, which I believe will help you enhance your work. I have deeply studied Classic and Contemporary Narrative during my academic years so that you will have a scholar taking care of your project! Plus, I am open to reading any written document and genre! I will send you a readers' report, commenting on what I think are your strengths, what I retain that could be improved, and suggest changes, focusing on my overall impression of the story as well as the characters, plot, and writing. Your new beta-reader is here to provide writers with in-depth feedback on your finished or unfinished manuscripts, from both a reader's and writer's POV. All of my feedback is constructive: I never use the word 'negative' because we can all improve our writings. This is not only a job for me; it's a real passion! I am open to custom offers, so just message me the information.

As an author with 10 years experience of studying the craft, and writing short stories and novels, I will beta read your manuscript firstly as a reader, and secondly as a writer. I will provide a detailed reader report covering: PlotCharacterisationStructurePaceVoiceContinuity Format: Microsoft Word doc

Are you looking for in depth feedback on your fiction manuscript? Have you done multiple revisions and it still doesn't seem quite right or are you just not sure where to go next? In a developmental edit I will read your manuscript multiple times, looking over the big picture and diving deep into the structure of your story. What I coverCharacter: Are your characters likable and relatable with motivations that make sense?Plot: Is it clear to follow? Is it believable and will it make sense to the reader?Setting and worldbuilding: A big one for fantasy/sci-fi readers. Can the reader picture the world, do the history, laws, customs make sense?Style and Voice: Is it consistent and does it fit the genre?Opening: Does it draw the reader in and make them want to keep reading?Dialogue: Does it sound natural? Does each character sound distinctive?Tension and flow: Is the pace quick enough to keep the reader interested? I do not provide in depth line editing or copyediting, but I'll provide comments within the manuscript if the wording of a sentence is confusing or if I notice a regular grammatical error, but most of my comments will be from a big picture perspective.

Are you looking for a fresh perspective? Want to know how your characters are perceived? Or just how your work reads as a whole? Send it to me! I will carefully read through your book, novel, or short story in order to provide you with in-depth feedback and critique on the finished or unfinished manuscript from a reader's perspective.

Are you a brand new writer, and need help finding someone to read your less-than-perfect manuscript?

I will quickly provide a low-cost critique of your short story or novel. I love to read books of all kinds--any genre or level of completion.  I accept all manuscripts--whether it's a short story, a few chapters, or a sweeping epic fantasy. This listing is for anyone looking for an alpha reader, which means your manuscript can be a hot mess. An alpha reader is the first person you show your story to, even before an editor.  Please do not hesitate to send me a less than perfectly edited manuscript. (This service does not include editing, but I will give you a heads up when I notice typos.)   I will read it and tell you what I loved and what I didn't love quite as much. If you are looking for a harsh or brutal reader, that is not me. I strive to provide gentle but honest criticism that will motivate you to continue your writing journey. Let me know how I can help you.

Do you want to know that your script is ready before you query or publish it? Nearing the finish of a draft, the one question most of us struggle with is "will people get it?" This huge question encompasses everything from worries about our prose to character motivations and plot structure. And while your friends and family might be enthusiastic to read it, they haven't always put in the time to learn what you know about writing. What you need is a Beta Reader. As a beta reader for your manuscript, I can give you insight into how a first-time reader experiences your story and give constructive feedback from someone who understands the craft.Will I understand that complicated character who does all the wrong things for the right reasons? Will I notice the way you use motifs to hint at who the killer is? Will I catch the theme about the mental anguish of putting yourself out there? Whether I did or not, my report will let you know why. Why should you choose me? Because as a writer myself, I know what I wish to hear and what I need to hear. I will give you a bit of both, but nothing but the truth. All so that you can feel confident in both your manuscript and your skill.

I would love to read your work and give you feedback! When reviewing a manuscript, I am an active beta reader. What I mean is, I am constantly checking in with myself and asking questions like: How does the writing make me feel?Is the pacing too fast/slow?Does this dialogue seem natural?How do I feel about this character?Does this character's action seem out of character?Would this be confusing to a reader?Could the setting be more descriptive? Is the world immersive? I offer in-document comments so that you receive a beta reader's first impressions while reading your work. I also provide a 1 page reader report with a summary of my thoughts of your work for my Standard and Premium Packages. In the report, I focus on the big picture: my overall thoughts, the strengths and weaknesses, etc. If you have a manuscript of 100K+ words, please message me for a custom offer- I would love to work with you! At this time, I cannot provide custom offers below my Basic package. I'm very flexible- fiction, nonfiction, short stories, tomes- I love reading it all!
