BETA READING SERVICES FOR AUTHORS

I run a beta reading service dedicated to helping authors refine and improve their manuscripts before publication.

I provide detailed feedback on both fiction and non-fiction works, focusing on clarity, structure, and reader experience.

Services include:

Plot and structure analysis (fiction)

Argument clarity and flow (non-fiction)

Character and content development

Pacing and readability

General reader feedback and suggestions for improvement

I work with manuscripts at various stages, from early drafts to near-final versions. Feedback is clear, honest, and aimed at helping strengthen your work while preserving your voice.

If you are an author looking for professional, thoughtful beta reading support, feel free to reach out.

To the fans of ACoTaR...

I urge you to read The Black Jewels by Anne Bishop, the books Maas ripped names and ideas directly from. Not "took inspiration" from, definitely yoinked verbatim.

[unless content of an SA, pedo, or like behavior is triggering, then please don't subject yourself to reading the book; instead, seek out a synopsis or summary or video essay]

I read Black Jewels first (it came out first) but didn't give ACoTaR a try until too many people hounded me about not giving it a real try. So I did... and now - though it's not without flaws - I won't be swayed from deeming Black Jewels superior.

ACoTaR... ripped too much from too many places and left me a mighty disappointed bibliophile. Please stop recommending it to me.

[As a note: I read and enjoyed Throne of Glass, wishing it had been given more attention in the development stages, so it's not author bias; don't eat me]

YES, I WILL ACTUALLY READ YOUR BOOK.

I’m a self-published author who loves beta reading! And I’ve always loved giving feedback to my fellow authors.

For any up-and-coming authors looking for feedback, my DM’s are open!

SOME NOTES:

1. I work full time and write my own work under a pen name. So if you aren’t paying me, don’t expect any sort of concrete timeline.

2. You do get expedited service if you pay for it. You’ll have to ask me for my pricing.

3. No personal queries/DMs. I’m taken and I just like beta reading. Let’s keep it to that.

fyi Early reviews of the Tiger's Daughter show how its very racist and offensive ;__;

Thank you so much for the heads up. I’ll watch for the reviews of the published version and keep this in mind if I read and review.

FYI for the future: Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan is a very biphobic book. Plays into so many harmful biphobic stereotypes. Very hurtful as a bi reader.

I’m sorry to hear that. :( But thank you for messaging me about this. I’ll tag this with the book’s title and keep this in mind if I end up doing a review for it. (I read it about a year ago but don’t remember enough for a review...)

I’d like to get more input like this! Please send a message if you’ve had similar disappointments with LGBTQ books.
