Experienced Storyteller Offering Beta Reading and Developmental Editing Services

[Gold Feather]

My name is Nela and I’m a self-published fiction writer with three years of beta reading and developmental editing experience. I’ve written and edited more than a million words in the past three years and I understand the struggle well enough!

I’m first and foremost a detail-oriented storytelling expert. I've mostly edited Romance, Fantasy, Mystery and Horror, but I love and accept all genres. Currently, I’m offering a discount on beta-reading and developmental editing service to indie authors that wish to elevate their own writing voice.

✒ If you book my beta-reading services you can expect:

♡ A Beta Reading Report highlighting strengths and weaknesses of your manuscript, including comments on the plot, character development and pacing.

♡ In-line comments about any potential plot holes or contradictions I spot.

✒Pricing

♡ The price is $0.001/word.

✒ If you book my developmental editing services you can expect:

♡ Three-step editing process that includes beta-reading, an editorial assessment and developmental editing, providing detailed feedback from a reader’s AND writer’s perspective.

♡ A Developmental Editing Report with thorough feedback on each chapter of your manuscript, highlighting strengths and weaknesses, and discussing the plot, character development, pacing, writing style and world building from a reader’s and writer’s perspective.

♡ In-line comments about any plot holes or contradictions I spot, highlighting examples for the feedback I commented on in the Report, and highlighting strengths I especially liked while reading.

♡ A light copyedit/line edit in the manuscript itself using comments and track changes. I cut filler words, sentences, and scenes, and clean up the manuscript without taking away from your own unique voice.

♡ Suggestions, suggestions, suggestions! I never leave any feedback without accompanying suggestions.

✒Pricing

The price for a developmental edit is $0.014/word.

Just swinging back by this post to boost/drop a recommendation for Nela's Beta Reading services!

Nela, of Gold Feather Editing, was incredible.
She responded quickly, her services were really clear, and she delivered within the timeline.
Not only was her feedback really thorough, it was also very thoughtful and constructive. She gave insight into each of her suggestions, and provided examples using my own text. The feedback was actionable, instructive, and kind. It is clear she has strong experience. Her analysis and critique of my characters was spot on and super useful, not only for revising this novel, but for planning the character arc across the series. I cannot recommend her enough!
