Beta Reading & Editing Services

Congratulations on your book. Regardless of whether this book is your first or one of many, completing a manuscript is a massive accomplishment.

Beta Reading:

As your Beta Reader, I will read your book with focus on plot, character development, and detail. I will deliver a reader report that includes constructive criticism and suggestions.

The reader report will include:

  • Notes that highlight general structure, timeline, and plot.

  • Characters - suggestions on character development and/or elimination of characters.

  • Attention to dialogue and tone for authentic/realistic voice.

  • POV- will ensure the POV remains consistent and clear throughout.

  • My reactions to the overall book.

I will always provide a report that offers both constructive criticism and examples/useful suggestions. I guarantee the reader report to be a minimum of 1 page for my basic package and 2 pages for my standard and premium packages. Reader reports may be longer if that is needed to complete the job.

Copy Editing/Proofreading

Each manuscript is different. If you have any questions about word count or price, please contact me prior to placing your copy editing/proofreading order. I'm happy to add additional services, such as fact-checking, for an upcharge.

I'll be looking for:

  • Spelling errors

  • Grammar errors

  • Correct punctuation

  • Syntax

  • Sentence structure

  • Clarity

  • Readability

To get started:

  • Ask me any questions you have, and let me know if there's anything specific you'd like a second set of eyes on.

  • Send me your writing in Microsoft Word or Google Docs

  • I'll read your work and get it error-free and ready for publication

I have my B.S. in journalism as well as my M.A. in cultural anthropology. I have been through the editing/publishing process three times with my own books. I'm excited to help others accomplish their writing/publishing goals.

I specialize in the romance genre, but am open to anything. Please reach out if your genre isn't romance and we can see if I'm a good fit for you.

I will:

  • Stay in direct communication with you during the entire process

  • Complete and submit your work in a timely manner

  • Track changes and feedback on your document

Storytelling is my passion, and I look forward to helping you bring your story to life. Thank you for allowing me that privilege.
