Experienced beta-reader accepting bookings for the rest of the year :)

[Preye]

Hello authors!

I would love to work with you! Some genres in my wheelhouse are romance, fantasy, historical fiction, and sci-fi, but I'm not opposed to any other genre. You will receive an honest, comprehensive, and constructive critique of your work, complemented by strong actionable tips for further development. Here's a link to reviews from some authors I have worked with: https://litdarlings.com/testimonials/

What can you expect from me:
╾ Deadline-oriented beta-reader who doesn't skimp on details when critiquing a draft.
╾ An in-depth appraisal of your work to detect any developmental issues that could impact readability.
╾ A comprehensive report of my impressions and suggestions and a reusable questionnaire with targeted queries.

I'm open to bookings for October and the rest of the year, and even next year! If you're in the final stages of writing and you'd like to get eyes on your work in the next few months, we can work out an agreement. I accept full-length novels, novellas, graphic novels, short stories, and poems. I can work with documents in any format, but I'm partial to DOCX, Google Docs, and PDF. I have a quick turnaround time and my services are very inexpensive. You can learn more here: https://litdarlings.com/beta-reading-...

Contact me via Goodreads(my account is open) if you'd like some more information and I'll get back to you immediately. Alternatively, you can send an email to preyeiwo@gmail.com and we will hash out all the details of a possible agreement — deliverables, turnaround time, and format.

I look forward to hearing from you and I hope you're having a great weekend!

Kind regards,
— Preye :)

Monthly bump!

Here are a few of the latest reviews from authors I have worked with:

This was like a mini editorial assessment. It gave me great reader reaction as well as showing me areas where my plot or character development was weak. Everything was delivered professionally and encouragingly, and was incredibly thorough. The Beta Read was well worth the money!
— Maggie Maxfield

Very detail oriented and thorough! And always professional and responsive to work with. I really appreciate her work with my manuscript.
— Genevieve Stoyak

When Preye read and annotated my work, I could see she was perceptive yet thoughtful in her comments. Her responses to my first two chapters were very helpful, and I felt lucky to have had her input. I’d definitely recommend her.
— Jane Dalton

I found Preye through Goodreads, and she did a beta reading for me. Her turnaround was very quick, and her comments were very helpful. I can’t say I liked many of them 🙂 but she gave much more than an average beta reader, who merely points out what she/he liked and disliked. It shows that she read the story word by word, paying attention to every detail and every phrase. In some sense, she also did a line editor’s work, highlighting cranky or cliched metaphors. If I could, I would have hired her as my developmental editor as well.

Preye, what do you charge?

[Anthony]

I found Preye through Goodreads and she has been helping me immensely on a collection of novellas that will soon go to publication. I can't say enough good things about her work. She is diligent, detailed and very insightful. Her efforts have greatly improved my writing and I can't recommend her enough. If you are looking for a top-notch beta reader to help you improve your writing, you couldn't do better than hiring Preye. Her turnaround times are timely, and her rates are very reasonable. Thanks again, Preye, for all your hard work. It is very much appreciated.

[Preye]

Thank you very much for the wonderful review, Anthony. Reading your stories has been a delight, and I wish you all the best in your publication journey!

I am currently accepting bookings (immediate and future) to review and critique finished or unfinished manuscripts. Whether you're in the early stages of writing or putting the final touches on your manuscript, I will offer my expertise and provide you with honest, insightful, and comprehensive feedback.

When I critique a manuscript, I take a thorough and holistic approach to ensure that your work is the best it can be. Here's a quick rundown of what you can expect from me:

~ I'll help you identify any plot holes or inconsistencies that might be holding your story back.
~ I'll assess the readability of your manuscript from the perspective of an everyday reader.
~ I'll give you feedback on your word choice, literary devices, and voice and tone consistency.
~ I'll evaluate your world-building, pacing, flow, sequence, and character development to ensure they all work together seamlessly.
~ I'll flag any stilted or unnatural dialogue that could disrupt the flow of your story.
~ And finally, I'll help you determine the suitability of your manuscript for your chosen genre and suggest some useful comp titles.

I understand that budget is an important consideration when it comes to hiring a beta-reader. That's why I offer different deliverables to suit your needs and budget. Rest assured that quality is never compromised, regardless of your choice.

My deliverables include a well-annotated manuscript, complete with my in-the-moment reactions, targeted queries, and suggestions for improvement. You can choose to receive a detailed report in a chapter-by-chapter format or an overall critique, depending on your preferences. If you're not sure which option is right for you, I'm happy to provide samples of my reports via email so you can see the kind of feedback I provide.

I found Preye on Goodreads while looking for beta-readers. She has delivered exceptional and professional feedback and was clearly very thorough with her review. She has gone above and beyond what I had expected from a beta-reader, and I’m delighted that we were able to work together. Her feedback ranged from the broad, developmental aspects of the story right down to specific line readability. She noted with great detail which parts of the story worked well and, more importantly, which parts were stale or not working. Furthermore, she gave insightful advice on potential fixes instead of simply saying “this doesn’t work”. I also really appreciate that she is eager to answer questions or provide clarification after the work has been completed. I would highly recommend working with Preye if you want a diligent, comprehensive, timely, and reasonably priced critique of your work.

[A.M.]

I was so glad I found Preye through this group. Her feedback was thoughtful and considered, showing me what worked and what didn't work. It was very detailed too which I appreciated. She helped me come up with some ideas to strengthen my collection. I will definitely use her for future projects and recommend her to other writers.

[Preye]

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I'm very happy that you found my feedback helpful.

I've got slots open for the rest of the year, and if you're looking for an extra pair of eyes for your story, I'll love to be of help.

I'm open to advance bookings and if you want me to start immediately, I can get right on it once we've sorted out everything.

Thank you!

Preye turned out to be a very perceptive and insightful reader. When I was sending my novel, which is not neatly categorizable, out to beta readers, I worried about critiques trying to change it into something different. Preye read the novel on its own terms and made helpful comments, at exactly the level I hoped for, aimed at making the story even more true to itself. In short, she listens both to the author and to the work itself. I will certainly go back to Preye for future work and happily and enthusiastically recommend her to others!

"If you’re looking for a Beta reader I highly recommend Preye. This is the third book in my series and she took the time to read the earlier ones to familiarize herself with the story arc and characters. She’s very thorough and pointed out issues in my MS that I wasn’t aware of. Her comments and suggestions were extremely helpful and if you have any questions concerning plot lines or characters she’s more than happy to answer them." – Pamela Pitts
