Need Beta Reader with YA market knowledge

[Jessica]

I have a Paranormal/Steampunk YA novel that is complete but has some issues. I've been revising and revising, and at this point, I need someone who has knowledge of the YA market and is an experienced reader/beta reader/reviewer to help me decide if this manuscript is query-ready. Please let me know of your rates and experience. Thanks!

Hi, Jessica!

I'm wondering if you can elaborate on "YA market knowledge". Are you referring to what readers enjoy, what agents look for, what will sell....?

Hello Jessica,

I'm an avid reader of YA and have much experience editing it as well as writing it (I currently have a manuscript being considered by an agent). I offer critiques, structural edits, and line edits to help improve plot, characters, setting, voice, and writing quality.

**My favorite client testimonial: “…Tiffany has an incredible attention to detail, which helped to strengthen my story in ways I had never thought of. Her advice on grammar usage, pacing, plot, and character development was truly invaluable. I can honestly say that hiring Tiffany was the best thing I did while publishing my novel.” – Jonathan Olivier, author of Between the Levees**

Feel free to send your first chapter to tiffany@owlediting.com for a sample edit of 1500 words. More details, including rates, discounts, and payment plans, for all of my services and client testimonials are on my website www.owlediting.com.

If we end up not being a good match, I understand and wish you much luck on your writing journey!
