Detailed Beta Reading and Editing Services! (First chapter free)

[Jessica]

Hello Authors!
Thank you for clicking on my post!
I am a very enthusiastic reader who has a passion for literature, editing, and discussing everything writing. I have professional experience as a writing tutor throughout my undergraduate career as well as have accomplished a Bachelor's Degree in History and a degree in Professional Writing - public writing and rhetoric (the study of how our words make an impact) In addition, I have a Master's Degree in library information science specialized in information management and data science. I love talking about writing, organizing information, and helping writer's to find their voice to create work that showcases their vision and talents.
I can help writers with specific feedback in grammar, sentence structure/flow, and character/story descriptors as well as general feedback on plot, character development, and overall story development. I have experience editing in all genres including academic writing, fiction, novels, short stories, and many others. I am often found reading fantasy, romance, mystery, thriller, historical fiction, sci-fi, classics, but have read many books throughout my studies.
My feedback style is generally in comments within a document so that I can be specific with questions and suggestions that encourage the development of details or story development as well as pinpoint sentence level suggestions to provide clarity for your readers. I will make grammatical suggestions in a different color throughout the document but will never make direct changes to your work because I believe that it is important for you, as the writer, to have complete autonomy over your work and it is your story to tell. I will also provide a follow-up email or document attachment upon conclusion with my overall impressions, plot clarity, and patterns that I see. Although, I am willing to cater to your style of feedback that works best for your writing process.
In addition, I think it's really important to acknowledge what writers do well in addition to providing feedback and suggestions when editing and beta reading. It takes a lot of courage to write a book and tell your story so I think that should be celebrated! In my spare time I can be found teaching ice skating or tutoring in AP Language and Literature so I have learned that there are many ways to get a point across and everyone learns and interpret differently which I try to bring to my editing style/process.
My fee is .005 per word and I generally have about a 1 week turn around time. If I need more time I will actively communicate with you. My fee is centered around line editing, developmental editing, any grammatical things that I see along the way, as well as anything else you specifically ask me to pay attention to. I will pay attention to consistency throughout your plot, actions of characters, fact checking, and word choice (syntax). I am very thorough with my work and take great care in the development of stories. I am actively working on developing a website and will be adding that to this post soon. I am available for discussion throughout my time beta-reading and a few days following as I believe discussion and communication is the best way to develop ideas! If this sounds helpful - leave a comment, send me a message via Goodreads or email me jneumie4@gmail.com. You can find me on fiverr as well, although I am just beginning to develop my presence there: https://www.fiverr.com/s/o8KWx1G

Feel free to send me a chapter or two as a trial to see if my feedback style will be a good fit for you and your writing process.
Thank you in advance for trusting me with your work and sharing in your passion of writing and storytelling! I can't wait to work with you :)
