I'm a beta reader based in the UK – currently offering 50% off my services. That means just £0.37 per 1000 words! I only ask for payment at the end of a completed job.
I have experience with both novels and short fiction, and I'm open to reading most genres, including nonfiction, though I'm particularly interested in the following genres and themes:
–Contemporary fiction –Modern fantasy –Dystopian sci-fi –LGBT+ themes and characters –Paganism and spirituality
My educational background is in Creative Writing and Publishing, both degrees finished with first-class honours. My time at university was where I learned how much I love not only to write my own things, but also to engage with the work of other writers and help them make it the best it can be – of course without insisting they write it as I would write it. My reports tend to be fairly informal yet contemplative, honest yet respectful.
I also offer proofreading (at the same 50% discount currently) for which I have received training from the Publishing Training Centre, and I am a member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders and subscribe to their code of practice.
I can be contacted via this thread, PM or my website. I have space in my schedule starting next week. The 50% offer applies to bookings made this month; that is, it need not be *for* this month if, for example, you are still drafting/editing your work.
