I will beta read and give feedback on your ya novel

I have a B.A. in English and an MFA in creative writing. I'm a blunt but kind editor. I don't point out issues in a manuscript without offering a round of possible solutions and mentioning what IS working well for the story.

Each package includes detailed line feedback on the digital manuscript using Google docs, a 1-2 page overall analysis report, and a virtual meeting. How you choose to utilize the virtual meeting is up to you. We don't have to go in depth on edits if the analysis and digital doc is enough for that. For example, if you would rather discuss potential comp titles for the book, brainstorm alternative titles together, or talk about social media tips for marketing your novel-in-progress to the writing community, then let's do it!

I am best suited for YA fiction only. While I'm open to reading many genres, Sci-Fi is not my strong suit.

Digging into the manuscript, I will pay close attention to the following (though not limited to):

• voice
• setting & atmosphere
• structure & chapter arcs
• tension & tone
• character development
• plot & subplot development & holes
• consistency
• theme
• description
• reader investment
• conflict/stakes
• redundancy
