Project details
Congratulations on writing a story! It's not easy to write something worth sharing, and it's often even more difficult to share it.
As a beta reader, I will approach your story with fresh eyes and a professional mindset. My Reader Report will detail any areas that I think are especially well done, as well as areas that could use improvement.
My pricing for each tier reflects a rate of $0.00125 per word.
Aspects that I will consider:
•Plot, both overall narrative and plot progression
•Characters
•Setting
•Tone
•Description
•Anything else you specifically want me to look for
Genres of expertise: fantasy, romance, mystery, children's, science fiction, thriller, horror.
If you have a story longer than 80,000 words or have something else you would like me to look at, please feel free to reach out! I am always open for custom work.
It is my goal to help you be the best writer you can be. I look forward to working with you!

Adhered to the schedule and was open to answering my questions. He gave good ideas for how I could do more showing of emotion in the book.

Yortie and Scaheed Fantasy Novel Beta Read
Very positive experience! I really appreciated the short back and forth Alex provided after he gave me his comments. This was really helpful and not something a lot of beta readers provide. :)

Beta Reader for 70k word Detective Fiction Novel
Alex is a great beta reader. He was very detailed with my detective fiction manuscript pointing out several areas where I needed to make adjustments. If you're looking for a professional beta reader, Alex is a top pick.
