Alex did a great job on beta reading for my pitch black horror romance. She gave in depth, thoughtful, detailed feedback which helped to give me insight to what’s working and what could be improved in my manuscript. Alex is very professional, kind, communicative and helpful! I recommend their service :)

Very valuable feedback. Clearly experienced, thoughtful, and reader-focused in the analysis. Expert at deducing the emotional core of scenes and gave pointed advice to expand on my writing, not take away from it.

I enjoyed reading the feedback. I’m still reading it over and have enjoyed your perspective on what works and what could be added, refined or changed.
