I work as a freelance author support specialist, helping writers take their books from manuscript development to a polished, publication ready project. My services cover beta reading, alpha reading, ARC reading, manuscript feedback, book editing, book cover design, and publishing support. I provide honest beta reader and alpha reader feedback on fiction, nonfiction, novels, and short stories, with experience across romance, dark romance, contemporary romance, fantasy, romantasy, thriller, mystery, horror, science fiction, and young adult. My manuscript review and critique focuses on character development, plot, pacing, dialogue, story structure, consistency, readability, worldbuilding, emotional impact, and reader engagement. I provide constructive feedback that helps authors identify plot holes, weak sections, confusing scenes, and areas that need further development. Alongside beta reading, I assist authors with developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading to improve clarity, flow, consistency, and readability. I also create professional book cover designs suited to the book's genre and target audience. For authors preparing to publish, I provide publishing help including manuscript preparation, formatting guidance, self publishing support, KDP preparation, and general book publishing guidance. My goal is to give authors practical support at every stage, from an early manuscript and ARC read to editing, book cover design, and publishing.
