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.

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.

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.

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.
