Hi Mat. I've got a hefty fantasy novel (226.5k) I'm sending out to a few beta readers. If this is something you might consider drop me an email to holyoakhall@gmail.com. If not, I understand.Have a great day.
Hi Holy,I would be happy to read your novel and provide feedback. I read every fantasy novel written between 1985-1995 and have recently started reading fantasy again.
I do charge to read and provide feedback. Even the best book is labor intensive when you're reading to see grammar, plot holes, character development, etc.
I think a fair price, depending on the level of detail you're looking for would be $500. Copy editing would be an additional service, if you're interested.
Let me know what you think!

Thanks. What peaked my interest in your post was your comment on dialog, motivation & character development. I would be interested in feedback on those topics and general likes and dislikes concerning the novel. Beta reader level involvement, not deep intense editing. Much of the grammatical & spelling have been addressed by 3 other beta/editors at this stage. Your fee may be a bit more aggressive then my wallet will handle currently. Thank you for your response.
Hi Holy!The cost is negotiable. I love fantasy novels and I think I can help you once I get into the story because I obsess about plausibility, compelling plot points and relatable characters. What would a more manageable rate be for you?
I guess it appears as if I ghosted you. Sorry. Truly I was waiting for the current beta reader to complete her analys.
Mat please reach out to me privately so I can give you my offer. I do not want to post it here and then be inundated with unsolicited requests. That is of course if you are still interested.Thanks

I'm an avid reader with several published short stories and a few manuscripts in the works. I'd be happy to read a chapter for free and discuss rates for a full read. We can discuss the type of feedback you're seeking prior to my reading your work. I've worked as a copy editor, content writer for non-fiction works, have a BA in literature and my profession as a therapist gives me an advantage when it comes to dialogue, motivation and character development.
