Our Services and Fees
Beta Reading
A beta reading service is giving a piece of your written work to an objective person (whom you can trust) and asking them to look through it as a reader, just as someone would pick up your book from a shelf and read it through. Only a Beta Reader will offer comments, constructive feedback and an objective interpretation of your writing, without judgment, and in confidence. It could be a completed application for a job, a proposal for a project, or a full length manuscript, or an essay. Any comments are usually typed and highlighted throughout a copy of your document, with a summary at the end. Please note, this is not proof reading or editing. Although sometimes objective constructive feedback can help you to expand or condense some areas of your writing.
From £25

Many thanks for your really helpful comments and observations, I really appreciate your time and encouragement. R.
I have really valued Paula's encouragement and kind comments in reviews of my own books and in reading drafts of work in progress. She paid attention to detail, and provided a summary that was helpful in my objectivity as an author. R.
