Standalone Service
Before you invest in editing, invest in clarity.
You have finished your manuscript — or something close to it. You know it needs eyes on it, but you are not yet sure what kind of help it needs. The Beta Read is exactly where you begin. This service delivers the honest, informed, reader-perspective feedback that every manuscript needs before it enters the editorial process — offered with the expertise of a publishing professional and the candor of a trusted literary ally.
This is not a light skim. This is a structured, intentional read-through designed to show you exactly where your manuscript shines, where it stumbles, and what it needs to reach its fullest potential.
What's Included:
Full manuscript read-through (up to 80,000 words)
Reader experience assessment — pacing, engagement, and emotional resonance
Plot, structure, and character arc evaluation
Point of view and narrative consistency notes
Genre positioning and market awareness feedback
Comprehensive editorial letter with clear, actionable recommendations
30-minute follow-up consultation to walk through findings
Investment

Turnaround 7 – 10 Business Days
Word Count Up to 50,000 words
