Hi, I’m Alex Santos, a professional Developmental Editor and Beta Reader with extensive experience helping authors refine their manuscripts and successfully bring their books to market. I began my career at WritingMetier in July 2019, where I served as a dedicated editor and beta reader until December 2023. During my four-and-a-half years there, I worked on hundreds of manuscripts, providing in-depth developmental editing, structural feedback, character development support, and honest beta reads across fiction (all genres) and narrative non-fiction. In February 2024, I launched my freelance career to offer more personalized guidance. Since then, I’ve helped numerous authors transform raw drafts into polished, publishable books — guiding them through every stage from initial writing and story development to final editing, formatting, and self-publishing on platforms like Amazon KDP. Key achievements: • Supported over 120 authors in successfully publishing their books • Specialized in strengthening plot structure, pacing, character arcs, world-building, and emotional resonance • Consistently received praise for clear, constructive feedback that preserves the author’s unique voice while elevating story quality • Assisted with complete publishing journeys, resulting in strong reader reviews and improved market performance Clients appreciate my blend of editorial expertise and practical self-publishing knowledge. Whether you need a detailed beta read, full developmental edit, or end-to-end support from concept to published ebook, I’m here to help you succeed. Let’s work together to make your book the best it can be.
