[Lisbeth]

Welcome, author! You've done the hardest part in getting those words down on paper or screen. Now, you're looking to make your story the best, strongest narrative it can possibly be. I'd love to help you with that.

What you can expect:
-inline comments that can track reactions, questions, and suggestions as I read through
-A separate document is included that gives more of an overall report of characters, plot, world-building, and reactions
-A review on my website and sites of choice once the work is published

If you are an author in the querying trenches or on submission, let me know if you have received feedback already from rejection letters or other communications. I can read with that feedback already in mind and offer more specific suggestions to overcome those issues. If your needs don't fit what's listed above, please feel free to contact me to discuss something that will.

My rates are currently $5 per 10000 words, and I will read any genre except outright snuff. Proofreading/editing beyond beta reading starts at $10 per 10000. I will not work with AI-generated content.

Hello, I have a book I would want beta reading for. It is kinda dark. Upper YA/Cross Over mixed genre, morally gray characters. Here is a summary:

When Paige Langley, a young aspiring writer, stumbles upon a mysterious binder filled with a dark and deeply personal story, she is drawn into a world she never expected. The binder belongs to Devon Connors, the enigmatic senior editor at her new school, who harbors a shocking secret: his mother is the reclusive bestselling author Linda Davis. As Paige and Devon grow closer, their connection deepens, but so does the mystery surrounding the binder’s origins—and the ghostly presence that seems to follow them both.

Set against the backdrop of a crumbling neighborhood and the glittering world of literary fame, Death of Ink explores the blurred lines between reality and fiction, the weight of family legacies, and the cost of keeping secrets. As Paige uncovers the truth about Devon’s past, she must confront her own demons and decide how far she’s willing to go for love, ambition, and the chance to rewrite her future.

With its richly drawn characters, atmospheric prose, and a story that lingers long after the final page, Death of Ink is a gripping exploration of the power of stories—and the ghosts they leave behind.

*Has some mature themes*
