Zainab M. (thebluecouchedits) Hello everyone,

I am Zainab, 22, a married baker with a Bachelor's in English & Administration, hailing from India. I have been into reading for as long as I can remember. I have been a romance junkie for most of my life, reading anything that has paranormal - a touch of BDSM - dark - romcom or mystery.

I had a knack for this beautiful language, always. Although it isn't our national language, I found myself talking or acting in a certain English way. English has been my passion and an ever growing encouragement throughout my life. I am a professional beta reader having read for published authors like Rina Kent, Dee Garcia, Mary Catherine Gebhard, Pepper Winters and more. After much consideration, I figured out my actual purpose and dived straight for Proofreading & Copy-Editing, finishing my training with R.K. Films Media & Academy. Here I am, offering you a chance to maintain your touch in the book with little polishing effects from my side. I offer paid/free beta reading, proofreading, copy-editing and proof-editing services (a package that includes both proofreading and copy-editing). I am a very flexible person to talk to and extremely punctual. I will be happy to serve you in anyway I see fit.

Kenny (kenny_valentine) | 82 comments I've had the chance to work with Zainab recently, who generously provided a free beta-reading service for my manuscript. Her feedback was honest and eye-opening. She shed light on some technical issues, certain things that I had my own doubts about, and pointed out rooms of improvements. She shared her honest opinions with me about the plot and characters of my manuscript, which is important to me as the author to see whether or not the story resonated with the reader the way I intended for it. Aside from the helpful feedback she provided, she was also very timely! If you are ever on a strict schedule or deadline, she will definitely deliver in time. Zainab is a very easy person to talk to. She is respectful and considerate, but that doesn't stop her from being honest and constructive about any issues she stumbles upon in the manuscript. It's something any author will benefit from in a beta reader!
