FAQ
What will I receive after you read my manuscript?
You will receive honest, detailed, and actionable feedback from a reader's perspective. Depending on your package, feedback may cover clues, red herrings, plot, pacing, characters, mystery logic, reader engagement, cozy atmosphere, confusing moments, and overall story satisfaction.
What is the difference between alpha reading and beta reading?
Alpha reading is best for early or developing drafts and focuses on big-picture elements such as the story, plot, characters, and structure. Beta reading is usually for a more complete draft and focuses on the reader's experience, pacing, clarity, engagement, clues, and overall effectiveness.
Will you check my clues and red herrings?
Yes. I will evaluate whether clues feel fair and consistent, whether red herrings work effectively, and whether the mystery and final reveal feel logical and satisfying from a reader's perspective.
Do you provide editing or proofreading?
No. This gig focuses on alpha/beta reading and story level feedback. I do provide proofreading, copyediting, or line editing but its another service that I have to charge for entirely so you have to contact me first.
Will my manuscript remain confidential?
Absolutely. Your manuscript will be treated as private and confidential. I will not share, copy, distribute, or reuse your work.
Do you use AI to read my manuscript or write feedback?
No. Your manuscript will be personally read, and the feedback will be based on my genuine reading experience and analysis.
Can you read an unfinished manuscript?
Yes. I can provide alpha-reading feedback on an unfinished manuscript or partial draft. Please message me first and explain the stage of your manuscript and the areas where you need feedback.
What file format should I send?
Microsoft Word (.docx) is preferred. PDF may also be accepted. Please contact me before ordering if you have another file format.
What if my manuscript is longer than your package limit?
Please message me before ordering with your manuscript's word count. I can discuss the best option or provide a custom offer where appropriate.
