Laiba Anwar | 13 comments Hello again!

Client's Review:

"She beta read the second draft of my first novel and her report was beyond insightful and eye opening to new tasks I need to tend to with my third draft. Her attention to detail and little things that matter were more than astonishing and very needed. I look forward to working with her in my future projects."

Laiba Anwar | 13 comments Hi authors!

Client Review:
"I hired Laiba to beta read my novel, but she stepped beyond my previous readers to provide analysis and excellent comments to help shape my work into a stronger, more cohesive unit. This novel has an intense amount of world-building and it can be difficult to navigate; another hurdle was my penchant for verbosity. Laiba exceeded my requirements by giving me feedback I could actually use for improvement and not the noise I was getting from other reviewers that was barely above a smart AI grammar and spell check. I hope to hire Laiba again for future work.”

Laiba Anwar | 13 comments Hi authors!

Client review:
"Absolutely brilliant! One of the best beta readers I've ever used! I don't say this lightly, as I have used quite a few on this platform. Laiba covered everything I could've asked for and more (considering she also read the first book in the series before beta reading this one). Great constructive feedback that pointed out all the strengths and weaknesses of my work. Will absolutely be working with Laiba again. Fantastic!"

Laiba Anwar | 13 comments Hi Authors!

If you're looking for an honest beta reader, I might be the right person for you. Let’s see why:

Reading stories has been, is, and always will be a big part of my life. Growing up, the only form of media I had access to was the written word. So I read. And I think that’s the one thing I do best.

I read stories. I read to feel something, to be moved or entertained.

And I can always tell when a story isn’t doing either.

But that was how I read. But beta-reading requires more than a passion for reading. And I make sure to bring both.

After reading each chapter, I take notes on different elements of the story, plot, structure, characters, storytelling, themes, worldbuilding, pacing, etc.

I document what did and didn't move or entertain me. What's perfectly working in the story and what's lacking. How different events add to the plot, if they do. How things are looking from a big picture point of view.

I document everything in whichever form it makes sense.

For example, I might add comments directly in the manuscript or highlight specific lines.

Then I compile everything I gathered about the story in a separate document. Whenever I point something out, I always explain why.

My rate is $1 per 1,000 words. Once I’ve finished, I’ll send you my report, and you’re welcome to ask follow-up questions.

My preferred genres are fantasy, science fiction, and romance, though I’m always open to a good story in any form.

If this sounds like the kind of feedback you’re looking for, feel free to reach out!
laiba.ctn@gmail.com

And thank you for reading this far! I’m always happy to answer any questions.
