Beta read - experience in SFF/YA/LGBTQ

[Maya]

Hi! I'm Maya of MC Editorial Services. I can be contacted at mceditorialservices@gmail.com.

I offer beta reads/manuscript critiques as well as proofreading and copy editing services. I've reviewed YA for Publishers Weekly, as well as worked in the publishing industry. I specialize in YA, SFF, and LGBTQ novels, though I am happy to read historical fiction as well.

Some testimonials below from authors I've worked with:

"Maya’s read of my first novel was so sharp that it actually restructured the plot. Keen, scrupulous, and detail-oriented, Maya’s versed in everything from Russian literature to the modern science fiction and fantasy scene. Highly recommended."

Seth Dickinson, author of The Traitor Baru Cormorant (Tor 2015)

"Maya Chhabra worked as a subject-matter expert beta-reader for my most recent novel, focusing on issues around ethnicity and immigrant experiences, as well as other subjects within her competence such as musical performance. Her feedback was direct, honest, and immensely helpful. She had no hesitation about pointing out questionable or problematic language, yet always with the aim of improving the underlying story. I would be delighted to work with her again."

Heather Rose Jones, author of Mother of Souls (Bella Books 2016)
