Thomas | 25 comments Hi! I'm looking for a beta reader for 2 Sci-Fi short stories. They total 16,600 words and I can pay 25 USD for the job.

Hoping for 1.) In-line comments as you read, and 2.) a clear summary of what you liked and didn't like overall.

The stories are:
1.) Full Share (6,200 words)
"Bot doc" Gerald gets a lot more than he bargained for when he makes a housecall to fix a broken sandwich machine. Set in a world where reproductive difficulties make kids a valuable commodity that are raised in time-share arrangements.

2.) Thanks for Everything, Arthur Liu (10, 400 words)
Gemma arrives on Jupiter's Big Red station with her usual cargo of oxygen cans, an old man in a coma, and a secret plan to steal the money for her son's operation.

Please let me know if you're interested.

As requested, the final deliverables will include a well-annotated manuscript and a report detailing my impressions and suggestions. I have a quick turnaround time, and I'm perfectly okay with your budget.

I always give honest, constructive, and in-depth feedback on every manuscript I'm privileged to read. Here's a link to my blog page with reviews from other authors I have worked with: https://litdarlings.com/testimonials/

Can I send you a message? Alternatively, if you feel I'll be a good fit for your manuscript, please message me here or send an email to preyeiwo@gmail.com, and I'll get back to you immediately.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Your stories sound right up my alley. I’ve been beta reading for over 7 years, specializing in sci-fi and fantasy. My beta reads always include in-line comments and a detailed summary of my thoughts. Your budget seems more than fair.

You can check out a handful of testimonials on my website: https://wisecatediting.com/testimonials/

If you think we’d be a good fit, email me at wisecatediting@gmail.com and we can discuss further details :)

Cheers!

That sounds interesting. I'd be happy to do it. I'm a sci-fi author myself and good with character development and world building in particular.
