Real-Time Emotional Reactions Using Track Changes
This is a fun feature that many of our authors enjoy. Aiming for shock factor? An Aha moment? A blissful scene for your main characters? Our beta reading experts will share quick comments about their emotional reactions as the action takes place.
Plus/Minus
Here, our beta reading experts provide a quick assessment with a primary focus on plot & conflict, characters, pacing, and individualized writing style. What worked in your manuscript? What could use more attention and improvement?
Beta Reader’s Questions
Engaged readers will always have questions while reading. While beta reading, we will share our questions about your work in the comments section.
Beta Reading POV / Opinion.
This is the most subjective part of our Beyond Beta Reading™ service. We share how much we enjoyed your work and pinpoint the sections where it may drag or be confusing for the reader. Our beta reading experts give honest, respectful feedback, and strive to share perspectives that serve your work’s best interest.
Editorial Recommendations
Once we’ve gone through your work, we will shift from the perspective of a detailed beta reader to an insightful editor.
This is a brief evaluation of your manuscript in its current state and answers the question: What editorial services would help elevate your manuscript to its most professional representation?
