Need a Beta reader?

You’re here because you need someone to read your manuscript, and second opinions from friends and family just won’t cut it. As a writer, it’s important that you get an honest assessment of your work, and how you can improve.

Why choose me?

I’m a published freelance journalist specialising in character profiling. I’m also a novelist and screenwriter who understands what makes good stories tick. I can give you a second pair of eyes to help steer your work in the right direction.

By day I work in local government writing content that improves customer journies. It’s like telling a story too, and discarding the clutter is part of my job.

What will I do for your book?

I’ll use Adobe Reader to highlight issues and add my comments, so that you can see exactly what I was thinking as I read your work. I’ll offer suggestions on plot, character and pacing, predominantly. I’ll also highlight any obvious typos or grammatical errors (However, please note that you should always employ a proofreader before publishing your work).

In addition to your marked and highlighted manuscript, I’ll send you my notes on your novel, covering the above issues.

What’s the cost?

To make it simple, I charge $10 per 10k words. So for a 50 thousand word manuscript, that’s $50. I prefer PayPal.

How long will it take?

I ask for two weeks from the day you send me your manuscript. However, I aim to get it back to you quicker than that.

Do you do sample reads?

Due to my workload, and in an effort to give 100% focus to existing customers, I am no longer able to provide sample reads.

Any preferred genres?

I’ll read just about anything. Drop me a line and I’ll be happy to chat with you.
