Be Your Tough Love Beta Reader

About:

**Washington Post, USA Today & Amazon bestselling editor**



This gig is for fiction and memoir authors seeking professional development. All non-fiction (self-help, etc.) will be canceled, attracting penalties from Fiverr.



Are your opening scenes strong enough to escape the slush pile and hook an agent? I've assessed thousands of opening chapters, and recognize the red flags publishers avoid as well as the story hooks that keep them reading.



Gig inclusions:

• Analyze your opening hook, assessing strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities.

• 30-60 minutes of audio notes covering character and plot engagement, pace, structure, tone, style, commercial viability, and much more.

• Your big question answered: Is the novel ready for publishers? What does it need to get there?

Clients describe this process as eye-opening and empowering. Assessment and beta reading is not for writers seeking fluff reviews, but authors who are ready to publish their work at a pro-level.



NB: This gig is for all fiction genres and memoir. I also edit short stories, screenplays, and children's books, but please contact me for a custom quote. Most non-fiction is excluded, but I'm happy to refer other specialists. Thanks!
