Proofreading & Beta Reading Services
I offer friendly and supportive:
-
Proofreading – A careful, final review to catch grammar, punctuation, and formatting errors so your words shine
-
Beta Reading – Honest, encouraging feedback from a reader’s perspective to help you strengthen your story’s flow, characters, and emotional impact
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.
1
Proofreading
I specialize in proofreading fiction, with a soft spot for:
-
Romance (all subgenres welcome!)
-
Fantasy
-
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.

Beta Reading
Beta reading is a reader-focused look at the manuscript that focuses on story issues or character development problems, giving an author feedback on what is or isn't working in a story. I give my real-time reactions throughout the manuscript as well as a 1-2 page report detailing my findings.
I will beta-read:
-
romance (especially sapphic)
-
fantasy
