I hired Ayesha to beta read my mystery thriller novel and I could not have asked for a better service. The feedback she gives is oustanding. I got a detailed rundown of how well the story worked in terms of character, plot, dialogue, worldbuilding, and writing style, I got chapter-by-chapter analysis and feedback, and I got my manuscript returned to me full of notes and corrections.
She gave me criticism and advice that is actionable, and that makes the next steps I need to take in giving the book a final polish very clear to me. I am more confident about the book than ever before.
I would highly recommend Ayesha's service. You will not be disappointed.
I have a spot open for the end of May if anyone is interested.
Ayesha has beta read two books for me. I was very happy with her work this time too. Both her chapter-by-chapter feedback and in-line comments were insightful and thorough. She also answered specific questions in detail, and her comments on two revised sections were very helpful. Ayesha is a great beta reader and I highly recommend her.
Open for bookings for November and after.
Signing-up with Ayesha for a Beta Read was the best decision I’ve made in my multi-year-long quest to produce my first novel. Her feedback was by far the most constructive, most thorough, and most valuable of a dozen other beta readers I engaged. I was so impressed with her beta read feedback that I contracted with Ayesha for developmental editing. I was stuck, with a draft manuscript fantasy fiction lacking pizzazz. I was frustrated -- not knowing how to get to the goal line. Ayesha’s strong and clear advice has transformed my book in every way. Her help is not about typos and misspellings, but in-depth coaching about the purpose of each paragraph, about showing not telling, best words and sentence structures, plot development, dialogue, settings and characterizations, discarding the junk, and making every chapter come alive. She answers all questions immediately and is an absolute joy to work with. Today, with Ayesha by my side, my dream is becoming a reality -- I’m in final phase of self-publishing on Amazon/Kindle. Contact Ayesha if you want to take your writing to a new level. Jack Tymann, author of “Adam in Taoland.”

If you are within viewing distance of my words, heed me! I booked Ayesha as a beta reader and I'm telling you it's the most bang for your buck you'll ever experience holy christ. She is extremely thorough and even did some very intense line editing. Her work is so good it actually taught me something about grammar that was always a sticky point in my head.
Her report was 16 pages long, people. 16!!!!!
She's warm and funny too which is sooooo nice to have in a beta omg.
I can't thank her enough <3
I have people booking as far ahead as May so please get your dates booked early.
Bumping this post for the month. I am now booking for May-June and later. Some possible April dates depending on your manuscript length and start date.
Hi How much are your services to beta read. 70K words.As the book goes are there are sensual sex scenes.
TRUE LOVE STORY. No embellishments.
This story is about two people who were romantically involved at a very impressible time in their lives. He walks out on her without explanation. She is heartbroken but is enough of a realist to get on with her life. For decades they have only vague hints about each other’s existence. She has been married one time and has a child. He has never been married but has a child. They have moved around a lot. Life events have substantively changed both of them. They are not the same people they were when they first knew one another. While not exactly cynical they have become much more realistic. Financially they have figured it out. Emotionally they are still out there. They know how to survive but, at the time we meet them, they are both emotionally drifting through the day to day grind. Out of nowhere there is a lifeline thrown to both of them via an email. Maybe they can stop swimming and climb into a boat. More emails. There just might be purpose. More emails. These emails are highly sensual but not exploratory. They decide to meet but it is like a movie. Everything is scripted. He travels from the other side of the world to be with her for 14 days. She, with her girlfriends, puts together a love nest and stocks it with enough exotic provisions to exist on for their coming interlude. This is the stage on which they will act out their coming parts. It is a hyper romantic setting (a sort of a carnal Disneyland as it were) that has nothing to do with reality. But there has been a lot of thought in its structure. It is designed to ask essential questions. The questions are set up as props and events. The possibility of a continued relationship will be based on the answers to these questions. While there are no preexisting conditions for this interlude, there are expectations on both sides about each person’s desired outcomes. The narrative is about these expectations and their fulfillment.
This is a great premise for a story. It is universal in many ways. The difference is that it goes beyond the “what if” stage to the “let’s really do it” stage.

This is the second beta read Ayesha has done for me. I'm a traditionally published author who has worked with several professional editors and publishers and I'm very happy with Ayesha's work on my manuscripts. She is professional, thorough and her feedback helps bring clarity to my work. Her gentle and honest reminders help bring out my best writing. I will definitely work with her again.
One spot left for June and booking for the rest of the year.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Ayesha as a beta reader for my psychological thriller, and I couldn't be more impressed with her feedback. Ayesha's analysis was incredibly detailed and insightful, offering a thorough examination of the plot, characters, and pacing. She provided a wealth of suggestions that not only enhanced the overall narrative but also deepened the psychological tension and suspense in the story.Ayesha's keen eye for detail helped identify inconsistencies and areas that needed further development, and her constructive criticism was always delivered with thoughtfulness and encouragement. She didn't just point out what needed improvement; she offered practical solutions and alternative ideas that aligned perfectly with the story's tone and direction.
Her ability to dissect complex character motivations and psychological nuances was particularly valuable, bringing a new level of depth to the characters and their interactions. Ayesha's feedback was instrumental in refining the manuscript, and her passion for the genre shone through in every comment she made.
Working with Ayesha has been an absolute pleasure, and her contributions have been invaluable in taking my psychological thriller to the next level. I highly recommend her to any writer seeking a meticulous, knowledgeable, and supportive beta reader. Thank you, Ayesha, for your exceptional feedback and for helping to bring my vision to life!
I have several spots open starting in February.
I have a spot open in mid April if anyone's interested.
