Hi Dara,Thanks for reaching out regarding The Static Bride. Before I share any files outside of BookFunnel, I’d like to get a better sense of your beta‑reading style. Could you please send me a sample of your previous feedback or editing notes from another project? Even a short excerpt would help me understand the level of detail and approach you take.
I’m keeping ARC distribution through BookFunnel for security, so once I’ve reviewed your sample, I’ll be happy to consider adding you to the list there.
Best regards,
Richard
Hi Richard,Thank you for your response and for taking the time to explain your process. I completely understand and respect your approach.
My beta reading style is tailored to each author's needs. I focus on the areas an author wants me to pay attention to, while also providing my overall reading experience. This can include general impressions, pacing, character development, dialogue, plot, worldbuilding, clarity, consistency, emotional impact, and any grammatical or structural issues I notice along the way. My goal is always to provide honest, detailed, and constructive feedback that helps strengthen the manuscript while respecting the author's vision.
If you don't mind, could you kindly share your email address? I'd be happy to send you a few sample feedback reports from previous beta reading projects so you can see the level of detail and approach I take before making your decision.
Thank you again, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Darascribe
