Beta Reading & Proofreading Services
At Joyfilled Author Services, LLC, I offer supportive, detail-focused help for fiction writers — especially those crafting sapphic and faith-based romance.
Whether you need big-picture feedback or a final polish before publishing, I provide:
-
Beta Reading – Honest, encouraging feedback from a reader’s perspective to help you strengthen your story’s flow, characters, and emotional impact
-
Proofreading – A careful, final review to catch grammar, punctuation, and formatting errors so your words shine
My goal is to help you feel confident in your work — without the stress. I specialize in working with indie authors, especially those on a budget, and I love stories with heart, hope, and humanity.

Beta Reading
Need a reader’s perspective before you hit publish? I offer beta reading — a big-picture, reader-focused critique of your story.
As a beta reader, I provide thoughtful, honest feedback on:
-
Pacing and plot flow
-
Character development and believability
-
Emotional impact and chemistry (especially in romance!)
-
Dialogue and realism
-
Reader engagement — what kept me hooked or pulled me out
You'll receive a short report (1–2 pages) summarizing my overall impressions, what’s working well, and where your story could be strengthened before final edits.

Proofreading
I specialize in proofreading fiction, with a soft spot for:
-
Romance (all subgenres welcome!)
-
Contemporary and historical fiction
-
Short stories and novellas
-
Serialized fiction and fanfic
-
Author newsletters and bonus content
This is not editing or rewriting — it’s the final polish. I focus on catching surface-level errors: grammar, punctuation, spelling, typos, and formatting inconsistencies. Your voice and storytelling stay front and center.
