I reviewed manuscripts for independent authors across genres such as romance, fantasy, and young adult fiction. My role involved reading full or partial manuscripts and providing detailed feedback on plot development, pacing, character consistency, dialogue, and overall reader engagement. I prepared structured reader reports highlighting strengths, identifying plot holes or confusing sections, and offering constructive suggestions to help authors improve their stories before the editing stage. I also communicated with clients to understand their target audience and writing goals, ensuring that my feedback aligned with their vision for the manuscript. Using tools like Microsoft Word and Google Docs, I delivered organized comments and maintained professionalism and confidentiality while working with unpublished material.
