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

Hi everyone,
I’m a beta reader now accepting bookings for November and December.

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.

As your beta reader 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 story-telling.

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.

If you think I can help, contact me via my website www.beatwelleditorial.co.uk or email me at annette@beatwelleditorial.co.uk. You can also find me on Fiverr at https://www.fiverr.com/annettebeatwell.
