*Currently full from taking on new ARs* Alpha Readers can be writers and/or readers. In the early stages of drafting, an Alpha Reader will read the unedited story and give general feedback on what’s working and not working plot-wise, if some characters don’t add to the story, and if anything is missing. There’s less focus on line by line feedback and dialogue, but may point out parts that are unclear. Please understand that this is done without payment and on a voluntary basis. In exchange, and if in agreement, I can show my thanks by adding your name to my Acknowledgement Page of the novel. If interested in Alpha reading, please reach out!

*Currently available* Critique Partners are typically writers who are also working on a project. We would exchange work, usually with similar word count and genre (subject to change and adjusted to work for different situations), giving constructive and reader feedback on things from plot, characters, pacing, etc. while keeping in mind it’s unedited work. This is typically done during the earlier stages of writing. If interested, please reach out and we can sample each others’ work and see if we’re a good fit!

*Currently available* Beta Readers can be writers and/or readers. Once a novel has gone through multiple rounds of Critique Partners and Alpha readers, a Beta Reader will read the mostly edited story while bearing in mind that the work hasn’t been professionally edited and there are still bound to be mistakes. Most inconsistencies and confusing prose is cleaned up at this point. Beta Readers will give general reader feedback on what they enjoyed about the story (and what they didn’t enjoy), pacing, and any other information the author should consider before polishing up their work with the understanding that this is done without payment and on a voluntary basis. In exchange, and if in agreement, I can show my thanks by adding your name to my Acknowledgement Page of the novel.

*Currently no opportunities for ARCs* ARC Readers can be writers and/or readers. At this stage, the novel is near ready to be published. In exchange for an honest review, ARC Readers will receive a copy of the novel, whether that is a physical book or an electronic copy with the intentional of it being read and reviewed by publication launch date. If interested in ARC reading, please reach out!
