Annette’s comments from the Beta Reading and Editing group.

Hi Everyone,
I’m Annette, a beta reader and proofreader. I am now accepting bookings for January 2026 onwards!

I am an experienced beta reader with a degree in literature and a lifetime of reading more than is healthy.

I read widely but am most experienced with fantasy, science fiction, literary fiction and magical realism. Slasher and body horror and modern romance aren’t my thing, so I may not be your best choice if your work is in those genres.

I will act as a thoughtful audience, looking out for the problems and praising the good bits. I will make in-text comments so that you can see my immediate reactions. I will also provide a detailed report examining my response to your plot, characters and storytelling.

I read carefully for consistency in your timeline, characters, POV and writing style. If I find a problem, I’ll explain why I think it’s a problem, so you can find a solution.

My rate for beta reading is £1 per 1,000 words.

If you hire me to proofread the same work within six months, I will deduct the cost of the beta read from your bill!

You can find out more about me (spoiler – it’s mostly about books) and read my testimonials on my website www.beatwelleditorial.co.uk.

Hi Everyone,

You have been working on your manuscript for months. You have drafted it, redrafted it, thrown it into a drawer for weeks, taken it out again, and self-edited it. Now what?

You need a fresh set of eyes to cheer you on – and to notice the glaring plot hole in chapter 11.
