Beta Reading Services

 Beta Reading Services

5 slots total

Have you completed multiple drafts of your manuscript? Do you think that you might be ready for the next step? But are you still a little unsure? A beta reader might be what you need. They offer you constructive and honest feedback that will help you move to the next step. 

What Does a Beta Reader Do? 

As a beta reader, I will read a manuscript from a reader’s perspective and provide the writer with feedback. I will look at those ‘bigger picture’ problems that you might be having—from plot inconsistency to characterization. This feedback can then be used by you to help sort those suckers out. Beta readers are not editors because of that they won’t proofread or edit your work. 

Why Do You Need a Beta Reader? 

Beta Readers provide objective, honest and constructive feedback that will help improve your manuscript. Their feedback comes from the perspective of a reader, therefore, giving you some insight on how your future readers might read it.

Why Should You Hire Me?

I’ve been reading and reviewing books as Kaelie's Reads for nearly three years now. Therefore, I have a wide knowledge of the current state of the publishing industry. I provide honest and helpful responses to your work to help you move onto the next stage of your publishing journey.

I have high attention to detail and will ensure that your manuscript stands up to industry standards in terms of story and structure and will include insights on where it will fit in the market. As a diverse reader myself, I will look carefully into the diversity of the book and ensuring that it doesn’t fault or hurt anyone. 

 

What I Will Read 

The manuscripts that I’m willing to beta read are: 

  • Young Adult in Romance  
  • New Adult 
  • Romance in nearly any sub-genre
  • Adult and Young Adult Contemporary Romance
  • Adult and Young Adult Romance
  • Erotic Romance
  • Menage
  • M/M
  • Chick Lit
  • Disability representation
  • Mystery
  • Sports romance

If you would like a better overview of the books that I read, you can check out my reviews here and over on Goodreads. 

I will decline anything non-fiction, Fantasy, Middle Grade as I don’t feel equipped to give honest and critical feedback that will be helpful.

What Do My Services Include? 

Feedback on manuscript: 3 – 5 pages of detailed feedback (depending on the size of your novel) that will focus on themes, characterization, plot, world-building, sense of place and more.
Comments throughout the document on things that might stand out to me while reading. 
I will discuss where I think it might fit in the market, 
I will also discuss what I think is working/isn’t working. 
Anything else that you would like me to focus on. 

What Do My Services Not Include? 

    I will not be proofreading/editing. This refers to the correction of spelling and grammar. However, if I do see anything glaring throughout the manuscript especially if it is repetitive, I will let you know. 
    I will not publicly post any feedback or comments.

      Review: Rule #5: You Can't Trust the Bad Boy by Anne-Marie Meyer

      Image
      Rule #5: You Can't Trust the Bad Boy by Anne-Marie Meyer He was supposed to be my escape for the weekend. I wasn’t supposed to fall for him. My life feels as if it’s spiraling out of control the moment Mom and Dad inform me that come Monday, I’m heading to Italy to “get to know” the son of an important business investor. Apparently, it’s my responsibility as a daughter of a hotel tycoon or something. I want to be a good daughter, but I’m tired of being looked over. I’m tired of having my life planned out for me. So when I run into Jet Miller, the bad boy with a motorcycle, I pay him to take me away for the weekend. He’s convinced that I won’t fit into his life, but I don’t care. I need this break. Two days of freedom quickly change into something more, and I find myself falling for Jet. Only, he doesn’t know that once our 48 hour escape is over, I’m gone. And I don’t know how to tell him. Some rules are meant to be broken. For fans of The Sun is Also a Star, To All th

      Review: Wicked Minds by R.A. Smyth

      Image
      Wicked Minds by R.A. Smyth I may have escaped their house but there is no running from Grayson, Royce, and Logan. Not when Royce knows my most precious secret, Logan refuses to let me go, and Grayson hates to see me remotely happy. As if I don’t have enough to deal with already, between worrying about my daughter and dodging my sleazy boss, not to mention keeping up my grades, now I have to worry about what Royce might do with my secret while attempting to get over Logan and avoid Grayson at all costs. Except Halston is a small campus, and at least one of them keeps showing up in my life. It makes forgetting they exist impossible. However, when shit hits the fan, they’re the ones I end up turning to. The only ones I can trust. Who knew my life would only get more complicated second semester? My Review: My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book was okay. The Split was okay, but I feel like this story is being drawn out more than when it needs to be.

      Review: Link by Serena Akeroyd

      Image
      Link by Serena Akeroyd LILY He’s rough.  He’s ready.  I’m neither.  I’m a sacrificial lamb just waiting to be slaughtered. A socialite spawned by a sadist whose life’s work is to cause misery in others.  My life is a prison cell, until  he  helps me find the key.  He’s not as dark or as dirty as they say he is.  His roughness stirs something in me.  Something primal.  Something no socialite should crave.  He’s a brother in an MC, a world that should be alien to me but somehow, it’s my first real home. It has rules and regulations that make no sense to me, but  one  thing is clear:  Society princesses and MC brothers aren’t a match made in heaven.  But I’m fine with ruling over hell instead…  LINK is the second book in the eleven-book ‘A Dark & Dirty Sinners’ MC’ series.  It is  not  a standalone. My Review: My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book is really good I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to continue with this series if you like Mafia or MC romance
