A written feedback report (I will provide a template), including: ○ Overall story impression ○ Plot holes or confusing sections ○ Character believability ○ Emotional engagement ○ Pacing ○ Voice/ tone consistency ○ AI-style writing patterns (repetitive phrasing, logic or motivation gaps, etc.) ○ Alignment with reader expectations for bestsellers in this niche 2. Inline comments within the manuscript (Google Docs or Word preferred) highlighting: ○ Confusing scenes ○ Dialogue that feels unnatural ○ Repetition ○ Timeline issues ○ Emotional flatness ○ Areas that need strengthening I am looking for reader-level developmental feedback. Please include in your proposal: ● Your experience in Sweet Romance/ Romantic Comedy ● A sample of a beta report you’ve provided before (if available) ● Your turnaround time Thank you!!
