This was my first experience using a beta reader. Maureen was an excellent choice! There was good communication, her critique was concise and relevant, and I felt she was truly interested in my writing.

Maureen's experience with professional writing is evident in her feedback in many ways. But the most important to me was the structured format of her report that measures key factors for the quality of the work. This is so helpful to give me confidence that the beta-reader is not just evaluating my book on "vibes" but by the areas that will ensure a solid manuscript.

Maureen was exceptional and I would definitely recommend her! I would give her more than 5 stars if I could. Excellent feedback and workable suggestions, quick turn around, and an honest take on my book from another writer's perspective were just what I needed.
Thank You!

Genres I specialize in include Romance, Sci-fi, Fantasy, Christian, Mystery, Suspense, YA, Memoirs and more. With my experience as a technical writer, I welcome all nonfiction projects as well.
Expect professional copy, line, and developmental editing with meticulous attention to detail from me. And rest assured, though I'm a stickler for perfection, my main goal is to support and encourage you every step of the way.
Are you using AI in your writing? It's not something to be ashamed of. AI-generated text is becoming part of the modern writing process. The key is to make it sound human. That's where I come in! I'll help smooth out those robotic and repetitive phrases.
I am the founder of WordTinkerer LLC, and as such, I'm committed to staying up-to-date with the latest in editing education, such as Ethics, Grammar, AI Content Writing, ChatGPT, Working with Writers, and more.
My pricing is generally by word count, not hourly, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me with questions.
