With a diverse background in editing, beta reading, and graphic design, I bring a well-rounded skill set to every creative project I work on. My editing experience spans across articles, nonfiction books, and romance stories—offering a keen eye for detail, consistency, and clarity. I work closely with authors to ensure their message shines through while preserving their unique voice and style.
As a beta reader, I’ve provided valuable feedback across a wide range of genres, with a special focus on nonfiction, romance, and military thrillers. My insights help authors strengthen their storytelling, pacing, and character development, all while keeping the reader’s perspective in mind.
In addition to editorial work, I have hands-on experience in graphic design. I’ve created eye-catching logos, compelling book covers, and have most recently focused on character consistency—making sure visual elements of book characters remain true from start to finish. Whether it's branding, cover design, or visual storytelling, I bring creativity and technical expertise to every design.
I'm passionate about helping authors and creators bring their vision to life—whether that's through polishing a manuscript, providing thoughtful reader feedback, or developing visuals that stand out.

I’m a passionate writer, beta reader, and proofreader with nearly three years of experience working with clients across different storytelling and content niches. Writing has always been a huge part of my life, not just professionally, but personally as well. I’ve been an avid reader since childhood, which naturally developed into a strong understanding of storytelling, pacing, character development, and reader engagement.
Over the years, I’ve worked on movie and manga recap scripts, YouTube storytelling content, fiction proofreading, and beta reading for authors across multiple genres, including romance, thriller, fantasy, mystery, and literary fiction. Whether I’m writing a script or reviewing a manuscript, my focus is always on maintaining flow, clarity, emotional impact, and the author’s unique voice.
As a beta reader and proofreader, I provide honest and constructive feedback on:
Story flow and pacing
Character depth and consistency
Grammar, spelling, and punctuation
Clarity and readability
Repetitive phrasing and plot inconsistencies
I’m detail-oriented, easy to communicate with, and genuinely invested in helping clients create the strongest version of their work. I also value professionalism, quick turnaround times, and long-term collaborations built on trust and reliability.
If you’re looking for someone who approaches your project with care, focus, and a real love for storytelling, I’d be happy to work with you.

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.

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 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.
