I will beta read, critique, and provide feedback on your writing

*Please ask for quotes on longer texts.*

Looking for objective feedback on your writing? Uncertain about how well your story hangs together, or whether your characters are engaging and plausible? Send your work to me for feedback!

I will beta read your book, short story, or article and provide a detailed, constructive critique. My feedback will include commentary and analyses on structure, voice, reader engagement, language use, and anything else I find that may help you develop your work to its potential. If necessary, I’ll provide a sample edit for spelling, grammar, or writing technique.

I have extensive qualifications both in fiction and non-fiction. I have a PhD in literature, my specialty being narratology – the study of narrative structure. I also have 18 years of experience working as a professional writer and editor for a policy research institute. Consequently I know what makes a text tick. Providing honest, unflinching analysis and feedback is part of my training and experience. Let me share this expertise with you, and help you reach your writing goals.
