I offer freelance beta reading and manuscript feedback for authors looking for an honest, thoughtful perspective from a passionate reader. I specialise in fantasy, romantasy and romance fiction, with a particular interest in character-driven stories, relationships, world-building and immersive storytelling. When reading a manuscript, I pay close attention to plot development, pacing, character arcs, dialogue, romance and chemistry, world-building, consistency, emotional impact and overall reader engagement. I provide constructive feedback on what works well, what may be confusing or slow, and where the story could be strengthened. My feedback is designed to reflect the experience of a genuine reader rather than replace professional editing or proofreading. I aim to be honest while remaining encouraging and respectful of each author's creative vision. I am detail-oriented, reliable and committed to providing thorough feedback within agreed deadlines. My goal is to help authors understand how their story comes across to a reader and give them useful insights they can take into their next draft.
