I've spent the last decade meticulously combing through novels for clues about character motivations and potential plot holes. I have worked with writers who want chapter by chapter developmental advice, writers who want a quick read through and general review, and everything in between. I specialize in the fantasy, romance and horror genres, but I welcome any novel that catches my attention.

I'm a passionate romance writer with a strong background in developmental editing and beta-reading who always looks forward to finding ways to give the romance genre new and unique life! Whether from writing or editing, I always aim to bring out the best in a story, always keeping in mind the original intention of the client while also being honest and helpful. I'm open to working within all subgenres of romance and have no issues with explicit content. I am available for quick turnaround times depending on the project. I look forward to hearing about your next project!

Hi, I’m Paula — a detail-oriented Virtual Assistant and Beta Reader dedicated to helping clients stay organized while improving the quality of their content and data. As a Beta Reader, I provide honest, constructive feedback focused on reader engagement, pacing, emotional impact, dialogue, character dynamics, and overall story flow. I enjoy working with romance, teen fiction, mystery, and emotionally driven stories, especially serialized fiction and Wattpad-style content. As a Virtual Assistant, I can help with: • Data Entry and Data Organization • Web Research and Information Gathering • Email and File Management • Spreadsheet Updating and Accuracy Checking • Copy-Paste and Repetitive Administrative Tasks • Document Formatting and Proofreading I’m reliable, organized, quick to learn new systems, and committed to delivering accurate, high-quality work on time. Whether you need a dependable assistant for daily tasks or a beta reader who can provide thoughtful feedback, I’m ready to help support your project.

I started out by telling alternative stories about my favorite cartoons, and today I burn through paper and pens writing twisted tales. My love for cinema and storytelling began with Spielberg and continued with Nolan, Tarantino, and Cronenberg. If you have an idea or a movie stuck in your head, I can turn it into an epic or something close to it. When I’m not writing for clients, I like to lose myself in concepts and synopses obviously all twisted, with multiple possible endings. My specialty lies in ambiguous, surreal characters and everything related to nonlinear storytelling. In fact, I’m hopelessly in love with ''Lost'' and anything similar. If you have a story tucked away in a drawer, I’d love to read it. And if you’ve got a thriller in the second drawer or a horror in the third, go ahead open them and send them over. When I’m not reading piles of books or nonfiction, I enjoy exploring new worlds and discovering fresh perspectives. I’ll help you become a better writer than the so-called acclaimed ones. My students hate me because I’m demanding and expect them to shine. I may not look like it, but I’m an empathetic, overly sensitive person always attentive to voices and ideas that know how to scream.

I'm a Beta Reader for authors looking to gain feedback on their short stories or novels. Reading, writing, and helping others are all passions of mine! I look forward to creating valuable relationships with those who choose to trust me with their writing. A detailed reader report will include my honest thoughts on your novel, with praise for what works as well as suggestions for improvement. I will also provide inline comments (if a WORD doc is submitted) of my genuine reactions and any grammar/spelling corrections. The reader report will focus on: Theme/plot/tone: Did the story fit the genre and what the reader is looking for? How was the world-building? How did the story hook you in? Any holes in the story or questions unanswered? Was the ending satisfactory? Pacing: Did the story flow? Was there any unnecessary filler? Characters: Development, connections with other characters, impressions. Positives and Negatives: Praise/constructive criticism based on things that are beautifully written within the story/things that need some polishing. If there are other specifics you would like me to cover within the reader report, feel free to let me know, and I will include them! Open to reading any genre you have to offer, but my most preferred are romance, fantasy, thriller, or a mix of all three! I DO NOT use AI.

Before reading further, PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME INVITATIONS ASKING ME TO POST REVIEWS ON AMAZON. I AM ON A PERMANENT BAN BECAUSE OF CLIENTS ASKING FOR THOSE. I can only test products for feedback directly on Upwork or in surveys. Also, for app testing, I live in Nevada and therefore certain apps can’t be tested here, such as sports betting, online casino, etc. I am also not willing to travel. And, I AM NOT A PARENT OR HAVE PETS. (For those who have products for children, parents or pets.) Additionally, I am unwilling to do jobs that require me to record my voice. I have been told that I constantly drop my voice at the end of sentences, and it is evidenced by people constantly asking me to repeat what I said or that they didn’t catch the end of what I said. Motivated professional looking to expand her horizons in various fields of interest. Have experience in Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint, as well as Google Docs and Sheets. Offline, I currently work in customer service in the retail industry. Online, I have done freelance work in data entry, ghostwriting, editing and proofreading, typing, and research. I have a degree in Business Administration with Computer Science concentration. I type 79 wpm. I have proofread and edited one self help book, several romances, two children's books, and two Minecraft gameplay books. I have also been asked to go through a beta web site, which included a product catalog, and note down any errors in spelling, grammar, etc. Please note that I have never actually PLAYED Minecraft and therefore cannot write Minecraft books from scratch. I have also beta read fiction novels and given feedback through surveys and directly through Upwork chat. I am able to write my thoughts and feedback in Word as well, but not as a post on Amazon. I do not use AI. I have retyped from PDF to Word and PDF to Excel a number of documents, including a safety manual, an address list, a lease, court documents, ebooks, and handwritten manuscripts for a book. In terms of data entry, I have found images for a travel site and a recipe site, found e-mail addresses for a list of eBay sellers, found videos for various foreign language courses on Youtube, looked up various names on social media sites to find their official accounts, researched information to be placed into various fields on spreadsheets, and more. I have also been ghostwriting books but generally need an idea for the story from the client. However, I have done a number of romance novels, including some involving the paranormal and contemporary romance. Additionally, I have beta tested a beach resort simulation game that was in its planning stages to be available on Facebook. I played the game for several days, about an hour per day, and gave my opinion on how I felt about the game and its elements in a group discussion. I also was asked for ideas on how to improve upon it. I also have also tested and evaluated apps for iPhone. PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME INVITATIONS FOR TESTING ON ANY OTHER DEVICE, I ONLY HAVE AN IPHONE, AN IPAD, AND A WINDOWS CAPABLE COMPUTER.

I'm a writer who loves all sorts of ... well, writing. I have a bachelor's degree in screenwriting and have written over 20 original screenplays for movies and series in genres of drama, thriller, comedy, romance, action, sci-fi, and fantasy. My debut novella, Homewar Bound, was just published, and right now, I'm writing my very first graphic novel. I'm open to many kinds of new opportunities and projects. In need of a writer or co-writer? Do you need feedback on something you've written? I would love to hear more. No AI.
