#manuscript feedback

[phoenixofthegreenwood]

I just critiqued one of my friend’s manuscripts and I felt so bad criticising it! He was really grateful for the feedback and even asked follow up question, but I still felt so bad pointing out his works flaws!!

Now I get why no one likes giving feedback 😭

I need a published author as a beta reader. They could be self published or otherwise but a published author who has been through it all is a must. Experience with KDP publishing is preferred.

My manuscript is 100,000 words and I have a budget of at max $200. I know it's not much but it's what I can manage for now due to currency rate differences. It can be negotiated if required.

If this gig suits anyone please leave me a dm.

Genre is drama, thriller, lgbtq.

Edit: Due to too many DMs, I won't be able to reply to everyone unless they fit my exact requirements. Thank you for understanding.

I’m currently reading a new writer’s draft and here’s the truth!

Most stories aren’t bad they just need direction.

That’s literally what I do.

I’m really grateful for this feedback on my latest beta reading project Helping writers spot what they might’ve missed and offering clear, actionable suggestions is always my goal, so hearing this means a lot.

If you’re looking for a careful, detail-oriented beta reader, my inbox is open.

Hi. i’m a beta reader and a book editor I read drafts the way readers actually experience them — emotionally first, technically second. I care about how a story feels as much as how it’s structured, because both matter if you want your work to land the way you intend.

As a beta reader, I focus on:

pacing and momentum (where readers lean in vs. skim)

character voice and consistency

emotional beats and payoff

clarity without flattening your style

As a book editor, I help you see the big picture:

what’s working and should be protected

what’s confusing or underdeveloped

where tension drops or scenes overstay

how to strengthen the story without rewriting it for you

I don’t believe in tearing work down to prove a point. I give honest, thoughtful feedback that respects your voice and your intentions. Writing is vulnerable; feedback should be useful, not cruel.

I work with:

fanfiction and original fiction

short stories and long manuscripts

writers at any stage of the process

If you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or just need another set of careful eyes before posting, revising, or querying, my inbox is open. Even reblogs help me reach writers who might need this.

Stop. If you’re a writer struggling with your first chapter…

You might be one honest beta read away from fixing everything.

[novelcritiques]

If you’ve been staring at your draft wondering if it’s actually good…

maybe it’s time for a second pair of eyes.

I’m currently open to reading new work.

[novelcritiques]

You’ve read your manuscript so many times that every sentence now sounds correct.

That’s the problem.

Writers become too close to their own words.

Sometimes what you need isn’t another rewrite,

it’s a fresh mind that can tell you where readers will pause, feel, cry, or get lost.

Let me help you see your story through your readers’ eyes ✨
