If you are looking for a beta reader who not only loves and knows the fantasy genre well, but is also a writer and understands the writing process -- you've found her!
My experience:
*over 5 years managing and facilitating a writer's group
*Bachelor's degree in Literature
*avid reader of fantasy books, YA and adult, for over 15 years (see below for list of authors I've read)
With my services, you will receive detailed and actionable feedback and insight into how a reader experiences your story. This will come in the form of line comments in the story itself, as well as a 7-10 page report about the overall strengths and weaknesses of the manuscript. The report will include the important elements, such as: character development and likeability, pacing, plot and plot holes, voice, worldbuilding and magic systems.
While I read books across many genres, as a beta reader I specialize in fantasy because that is the genre that I love and know the most. As a writer, I know how important it is to choose the right beta reader with the right interests for your work-in-progress, one who knows and loves the genre of your book well. The right beta reader like myself will enhance your work, instead of detracting from it.
I am passionate about helping writers make their story into the best it can be. Each writer has their own unique voice and story to tell, and I can help you make it shine! Contact me if you have any questions, I would love to help you with your project.
Some authors I've read: Joe Abercrombie, Katherine Arden, Paolo Bacigalupi, Leigh Bardugo, Pierce Brown, Orson Scott Card, Susanna Clarke, Suzanne Collins, Tracy Deonn, Neil Gaiman, Alix E. Harrow, Frances Hardinge, Robin Hobb, S. Jae-Jones, NK Jemisin, Diana Wynne Jones, Hannah Kaner, Stephen King, T. Kingfisher, RF Kuang, Shauna Lawless, Haruki Murakami, Garth Nix, Naomi Novik, Christopher Paolini, Margaret Rogerson, Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, V.E. Schwab, Sabaa Tahir, Laini Taylor, Aiden Thomas, JRR Tolkien, Adrienne Young, AND MORE! Ask me if I've read an author not on this list

Tired of fiction edits that fix commas but miss the story? With 5+ years as a fiction editor and beta reader, I’ve delivered detailed manuscript feedback that helped authors sharpen pacing, character arcs, and reader engagement for romance authors and indie publishers seeking a polished, publication-ready novel.
🎯 HOW I CAN HELP YOU
DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING
Strengthen your story’s pacing, plot, and emotional impact so readers stay engaged from the first chapter to the last. I focus on the big-picture issues that most often cause romance and fiction manuscripts to lose momentum, helping you fix confusion, weak tension, and flat character arcs before publication.
LINE EDITING
Make your prose sharper, clearer, and more immersive while keeping your voice intact. I refine dialogue, tone, and sentence flow so your manuscript feels more compelling and easier to read without sounding overwritten.
COPY EDITING
Give your manuscript a cleaner, more polished finish that improves readability and consistency. I catch grammar, punctuation, syntax, and continuity issues that can distract readers and reduce trust in your writing.
PROOFREADING
Present your book with fewer errors that break reader immersion and hurt first impressions. This final-pass review helps you avoid the small mistakes that can slip into Kindle releases, query submissions, and formatted ebooks.
BETA READING AND MANUSCRIPT EVALUATION
Get honest reader-focused feedback that shows what is working, what is confusing, and where readers may lose interest. I identify pacing problems, chemistry gaps, and emotional payoff issues so you can improve the reading experience with confidence.
🏆 RESULTS
"Fantastic experience working with Ibrahim. He provided detailed and insightful feedback that significantly improved my manuscript. His comments were thoughtful, professional, and delivered quickly. I truly appreciate the effort he put into the manuscript review and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable beta reader."
– Aanuoluwa O., Author
"I am extremely impressed with Ibrahim's work! The creativity, attention to detail, and professionalism exceeded my expectations. Ibrahim's design for the front and back covers perfectly captures the essence of my romance novel, and the result is both eye-catching and polished. Communication was smooth, and the project was delivered on time. I highly recommend Ibrahim and would definitely work with him again on future projects."

As a developmental editor, I have experience across other platforms and have consistently received 5 star ratings from authors I’ve worked with. You can check my portfolio to see how I approach developmental editing, with a sample attached.
For beta reading, I don’t mix it with editing. When it comes to fiction genres, this is what I enjoy: action and adventure, LitRPG, sci-fi, and romance. When it comes to non-fiction, these are my preferred categories: self-help, history, and business.
I do not use AI. You can review my samples, including inline comments and editorial overviews, as proof of my work.
I have also published books of my own that reached the Top 500, and I am continuing to work on more.
