I charge $1.50 per 1,000 words. Contact me for a custom order. I've read over 930 books in the past five years. You don't read that many books without learning to pick out what makes stories work. Additionally, I practice critical reading and have studied creative writing. With two novels under my belt, I'm confident I can pinpoint any problems your manuscript has. My feedback is honest, direct, and constructive. I believe in both tough love and encouragement. As a writer myself, I know how much work you've put into your novel and I won't waste your time. I will read most genres.
Tell me what areas you struggle with and I will give it special attention.
If I know of an online article, videos, or free classes that might benefit you, I will give you a link.
I might mark a few grammatical errors but I am not a proofreader. If your manuscript has a lot of errors, I will let you know but can't fix them for you.
Here are a few of the things I will be examining:
Plot structure and pace
Character development
World building
Plot holes
Dialogue problems
Scene structure
Favorite genres:
Science Fiction
LGBT Fiction & Romance
Horror
New Weird
Hello. I am brand new to Goodreads and to this group so please forgive me if I'm doing anything wrong.I am seeking another Alpha reader for a new 88k word manuscript. I would like to get feedback and advice on the main aspects that make a good story/book: plot & plotholes, character development, pacing, etc. Fiction novel I think?
Thanks very much.
Dear Gerald:I am an experienced copy editor and proofreader. I'm not sure if I'm what you want,
but if I am, let me know. I offer a free 500-word sample, and then afterward I charge .004/word.
Thanks for your quick reply, Carol. I do reasonably well with spelling and grammar. For now, I believe I need more help with the content of my story.
Gerald wrote: "Thanks for your quick reply, Carol. I do reasonably well with spelling and grammar. For now, I believe I need more help with the content of my story."Hi Gerald,
I'm a qualified editor who offers manuscript assessments. I will read through your manuscript and assess it for issues with plot, pacing, characterisation, sentence structure and flow. I then create an in-depth report on my findings so that you are able to see exactly what works and what needs improvement within your story.
If you would like to discuss your manuscript further, please feel free to contact me either via Goodreads or my direct email whitediamondedits[at]gmail.com
Best wishes

I’m offering paid beta reading services.I have my bachelor’s degree in English and am currently an editorial intern at a small press.
My area of expertise is speculative fiction—an umbrella that includes fantasy, science fiction, horror, magical realism, and all things fantastical.
Other areas of interest:
Sapphic/Lesbian Fiction (of any spice level)
YA
Video Game/Visual Novel Scripts
I have a solid handle on the tropes of romance and romantasy. I'm happy to beta low spice m/f and m/m stories, but if what you have is high spice or erotica, I am not a good fit for you. I'm not your target audience, and there are things your reader might love that will simply baffle me.
I can help with plot holes, word choice, pacing, flow, dialogue, and characterization/character development. My beta reading tends to be more extensive than most, and can border on developmental editing advice. You’ll receive line notes, as well as a beta report.
A warning; I can be a little blunt, but never mean. I don’t sugarcoat critique or sandwich it between compliments to make it easier to swallow—but I’m not going to torch your work with a flamethrower either. I also make sure to give praise where praise is due!
I’ve seen concerns about beta readers not actually reading the work and instead running it through AI. I share those fears about AI’s impact on both human creativity and the job market for writers and editors. I promise I won’t feed your work to the demon.
My rate is 0.0012 cents per word, or $1.20 per thousand words. That might seem steep at first glance, but consider this: if I beta read an 80,000-word novel, leave line notes, and write up a beta report, that’s likely around seven and a half hours of work. At my rate, that comes out to $96 total, or an hourly wage of $12.80. I genuinely love doing this, but it does take time, focus, and effort. I’m happy to provide thorough feedback, but I also need to be compensated fairly for the work involved.
Drop me an email at m.e@madelineerb.com to inquire about my current schedule, and if your work is a good fit for me.
You can find a few testimonials here: https://www.reddit.com/user/paidbetar...
(I tend to work through reddit. Am thinking about starting a fiverr, but I really hate that they take 20% from workers *and* charge customers a 5% "service fee". )
Hi, authors! I'm Emma, a beta reader and sensitivity reader. I specialize in fiction (especially fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction, magical realism, and low-spice romance), and non-fiction (especially memoir, history, and self-help). I also love working with Own Voices stories about disability and chronic illness.
As far as sensitivity reading goes, I can read for the following topics:
- Religion: Catholicism, evangelical Christianity, general Christianity, religious deconstruction, conversion experiences
- Disability and chronic illness: general chronic illness, chronic pain, chronic fatigue (ME/CFS), POTS and dysautonomia, mast cell disorders, Lyme disease, mobility aid use, COVID precautions
- Mental health: anxiety, depression, OCD
My rates are $30 per 10,000 words. To learn more about my services, see my portfolio and testimonials, and contact me, check out my website: https://www.emmarobbinseditorial.com/
I can't wait to help you make your writing shine!
Hey Authors,The EMBER months have begun! September’s here, and I’ve got room for some new stories on my schedule.
Think of me as your honest reader, friend, the one who laughs, gasps, and side-eyes your characters right along with you, while also pointing out what works and what could shine better. THE TOTAL PACKAGE!
Ready to see how your story lands? If you’ve got a manuscript that’s ready for fresh eyes this month, send me an email.
