Becky Hi Poppy,

I'd love to work with you on this. I'm an HGTV watcher and I've written a RomCom as well. Here is my info:

A little background on me:
I am unable to work outside of my home and am looking for work to do from my home. I have written a novel of my own and will soon be seeking an agent. Before writing my novel I read several books on grammar and novel writing. I have completed two beta swaps (when the second person decided they no longer had time to finish mine, I still finished theirs). I have now gotten into paid Beta reading.

I am offering beta reading/editing services of Fiction adult and young adult novels in most genres EXCEPT: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Historical, Horror and Erotica.

I will leave comments throughout your document regarding characters, plot holes etc. as well as a fair amount of editing including punctuation, grammar, suggestions for rewording and more. I will also send you an e-mail with some overall/final thoughts once I have read your entire novel. I would be able to complete a novel of approximately 85,000 words in around 2 weeks (I can accept all lengths, this is just an example).

These are my new reduced prices:
$100 US dollars up to 85,000 words
$125 US dollars 85,001-115,000 words
To be determined if necessary 115,001+

I prefer payment being made by paypal, but I can accept money orders (work will not be started until payment is received).

I am willing to start with just a sample if you want to see if you like my beta/editing style before committing to the full manuscript. I will do the first chapter (up to 3,000 words) for FREE.

I use google docs since I do not have Microsoft word.

If you are interested in my beta reading/editing services please send me a private message (you may need to send me a friend request first).

I hope you will consider me and I look forward to working with you!

Becky

Kate W | 65 comments Hi Poppy. If you’re still looking for readers, feel free to browse my website. I personally vet my readers. They have all passed assessments, and I match each manuscript to a reader who best fits the author’s target audience.

Readers do NOT use AI, and I review all reports before sending them to authors. (I am an editor and the owner of the company.)

Authors may order online or by sending an email to admin@bookabetareader.com.

message 19: by Melinda (new)

Melinda  Taylor (mtaylor67) | 92 comments I have beta reading, proofreading, and editing experience and have written many book reviews for books on different platforms. I can beta read a book of any length and can work with any book genre. I am hardworking, reliable, responsible, organized, detail oriented and meet deadlines. I am an effective cross functional communicator, rapid and adaptive learner, committed high receiver, skilled collaborator, dynamic solution-oriented professional. I love beta reading, proofreading, editing and writing reviews and look forward to writing yours.
I am interested in your book. It sounds like an amazing story. I am trying to get back into beta reading, proofreading, and editing after a hiatus and this would be a wonderful start. I have experience with a variety of genres and would love to find out if we are a good fit. I have worked with authors on Goodreads, Amazon, and Upwork. I am excited to get started since I love to read and review books. I look forward to hearing from you and wish you all the best in your book's success whether you choose me to work with or not.
Here are my Upwork reviews:
"Melinda delivered excellent work on this project and we enjoyed working with her. Her communication was top-notch, she met all deadlines, and her skills were strong. She adapted and learned whatever had to be learned. At one point we asked for an additional milestone, and she was very forthcoming and happy to meet our new, changing requirements. She was hands-on through the entire process. Her greatest strength has to do with seeing the tiny details, some of which we did not see ourselves. On a personal note, I enjoyed working with her and undoubtedly have additional jobs for her in the future. Don’t hesitate. Hire her!"

"I would work with Melinda again. Her prompt communication, adherence to deadlines, and cooperation was much appreciated, and mark her as a true professional. She's very skilled at what she does, and I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you!"

"Great work! Will definitely rehire for future projects requiring reviews."

"Amazing job! Would definitely recommend her!"

"Excellent job"
