Beta reading
professional beta reading services
You’ve put your soul into your work, and you’re getting it ready for the next stage in its journey. Does that sound about right? It’s exciting, but often overwhelming.
The problem is you don’t know how well it’ll be received. Or you might think it’s missing that little something, extra.
so, what should you do?
Honestly, ask for help. That’s where professional beta readers com in. Someone who’ll give you honest, open, and constructive feedback, along with suggestions on how to improve plot, character voice, tone, and quality.
But how else will you benefit?
- You get a fresh pair of eyes from a third party, who can help point out areas for improvement.
- You will gain real insight into where the story shines, and where it starts to loose reader attention.
- You can test your novel on your target demographic, to see whether there’s anything else that can bring your novel to life.
- You’ll know whether the ending spurs your reader onto buying your next in series.
- You’ll receive a full report, covering all the important areas, including character development, voice, and so much more.
- You have an avid reader consuming your hard work, and someone who wants to see your book succeed
That’s why I’m happy to say that I offer a professional beta reading service for authors, just like you.
how the process works
Step One
Contact me with the required information, including book title, genre, word count and estimated publication, or pre-order date. The more info I have, the better
Step Two
I will email you back with my availability, as you can imagine, in this day and age, there’s a lot going on, but I will try my best to work around your schedule.
Step Three
Once we’ve agreed to work together, I will send an invoice, which needs to be paid in full before the project can begin. This is done via PayPal.
Step Four
Once payment’s cleared, I’ll confirm the start date, and will ask for any specific areas you want me to focus on. I’ll also need a PDF or Word document of your manuscript.
Step Five
I get to work, and you can sit back and relax. I’ll keep you updated when I reach milestones, such as finishing the first read through, starting the feedback.
Step Six
I deliver the final reader feedback and your complete summary, along with the “Teaser” quotes via email. If that's all, then you can be on your merry way!

Who is this suitable for?
Manuscripts I’m willing to beta read
The genres I love include urban fantasy, young adult or new adult fantasy, paranormal cosy mystery, and supernatural academies. If it’s LGBQIA+, even better.
Manuscripts I’m unable to beta read
Unfortunately, if your manuscript doesn’t fall into the “willing to” categories, then I’m not the right person for your job. I just wouldn’t be able to do your book the justice it deserves.
Ready to get started?
Email me with your manuscript title, blurb, word count and genre, along with your anticipated publication or pre-order date. Please make sure to add “Beta Reading” in the subject line. Speak to you soon!
