Beta Reading
of your children's fiction
Are you looking for feedback on a kid lit chapter book, middle grade novel, or YA novel? I would love to work with you.
I enjoy sharing what I've learned about children's literature with others. I'm a leader of a children's writing group in my state and a former elementary school teacher. An avid reader of all genres and age groups, I enjoy staying current on the latest releases in kid's lit.

I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.
Receive a 2-page reader report, and in-the-moment reader reflections within the manuscript. Constructive, honest, and actionable feedback on your Children's Fiction: Chapter Book, Middle Grade Novel, or YA. I will actively beta read your manuscript and leave in-document comments of my first impressions and questions. If something makes me laugh, I will note it. If a beautiful bit of prose makes me sigh, I will let you know. Likewise, if something confuses me, if the timeline seems off, or if your protagonist's actions and dialogue aren't consistent with what you have established, I will comment. I may point out light issues with grammar/spelling as I notice them but consider this an extra if it happens. In the detailed 2-page reader report, I will address the following: ·     Positive Aspects ·     Character Development ·     Dialogue ·     Voice ·     World Building/Setting ·     Plot, Pacing, & Structure ·     Overall Impression ·     Specific Concerns of the Author (as asked for when you hire me)

I enjoyed working with Jennifer. She was really responsive to all my questions and problems I wanted the solution to during the process. The service matches the Gig's description. and I will, in a heart beat, recommend this gig. She is a great beta reader!

Jennifer did a wonderful job of helping me to focus on the issues that need revision in this novel. Her comments were specific and therefore gave me the guidance that I needed to work on the novel further.

Jennifer was great with communication and delivered as promised and on time! I recently finished my story and was in a rush to publish to Amazon. Having Jennifer beta read through the story helped slow down the process...With her notes and suggestions, I am going to revise and make my story even better.
