Alpha Read (3 Chapters)
Enough material to see whether your setup is working. I'll assess your early plot momentum, character consistency, and the chemistry starting to build between your leads, plus flag anywhere interest might dip. Ideal for catching structural issues before you're deep into drafting the rest of the manuscript.
The below items evaluated and summarized in a 1-3 page report:
Early plot/setup clarity and any early plot holes
Momentum and pacing across all three chapters
Character consistency and secondary character distinction
Early romantic chemistry and relationship setup
World-building consistency so far (if applicable)
Turnaround: 3–5 business days from receiving your chapters
What I need from you: Your chapters (up to 5,000 words each) in .docx, plus your genre and where the chapter falls in the book. Tell me if there’s something specific you’re worried about — it makes the feedback sharper and more customized to your needs.
Scope:
This is reader-perspective feedback, not editing. I’m telling you how the chapter lands, not correcting it. No grammar, spelling, punctuation, or line-level rewriting — your draft doesn’t need to be polished , and I won’t be marking it up.
Genres:
Due to structural fluctuations between genres, I only accept the ones below for this particular service so I can ensure you’re in the right hands. These are the genres I have experience with, write myself, and enjoy most. Not only do you get perspective from a developmental editor standpoint, but the standpoint of both an 20+ time author and 150+ book per year avid reader of these genres.
Romance, paranormal romance, and romantasy.
