Hello authors, I’m currently accepting new manuscripts for beta reading and long-form story feedback. If you are preparing your novel for revision, editing, or submission, I can help you identify strengths, plot gaps, pacing issues, character inconsistencies, and clarity problems in a clear and professional manner.

When contacting me, please include the following details so I can understand your project better:

Stage of your manuscript: Is it an early draft, a revised draft, a polished version, or almost ready for agents?

Genre and audience: YA, adult, fantasy, romance, contemporary, etc.

Length: Approximate word count or chapter count

Feedback type: Big-picture notes (plot, structure, character arcs), pacing and flow, worldbuilding notes, or line-level clarity

Preferred format: Google Docs, Word, PDF, etc.

Timeline: If you have a preferred turnaround time

A short summary or hook so I know if I’m the right reader for your story

I aim to give thoughtful, respectful, and organized feedback that helps you refine your work without overwhelming your creative process.

You may reply here or message me directly with your project information. I’ll confirm my availability and what I can offer.

When people are angry they will...

Chew/bite their lips (this trait is often prominent if they are trying not to talk back)

Speak robotically or stumble over their words

Interlace stiff fingers, sometimes moving them back and forth

OR clench their fists and pulse them

Fidget their feet or legs, even getting up and moving back and forth if they become agitated enough

Stare while they’re talking; either at the person they’re angry at, or something nearby

Fidget with something in their hands; often exerting so much pressure on the object that they will snap or shatter it

Hands and voice will begin to shake, especially if they are angry and frightened at the same time (for example, defending someone who is being attacked or bullied)

what is the verb for archery does anybody know????? are you arching? Is Jimmy going to go archerying later tonight? How does one arch? Or maybe it’s shooting? But shooting could mean guns, basketballs, shooting your shot and being rejected. Shooting is so generic it gives as much of a description as saying “that one old white rich white dude in the senate”. I do not know the way of the arch.
