🌿 A Sanctuary for Sensitive, Overwhelmed, Burned‑Out, Grieving Souls
Beta Reading with an Empathetic Eye 📖
Giving your story the gut-check it deserves.
You’ve poured your soul into your manuscript. Now, you need someone to tell you if the heart of the story is beating loud and clear. I provide "Boutique Beta Reading"—focusing on emotional impact, character consistency, and the "human feel" of your work.
As a creative navigating my own "glitchy" journey with T.N., I have a high frequency for truth and empathy in writing. I specialize in memoir, fiction with "real-life" grit, and stories that aren't afraid of the mess.
My Services:
The "Vibe Check" ($15): A deep-dive review of your first 3 chapters. I’ll tell you if your hook is landing and if your "voice" is consistent.
The Short Story/Novella Review ($50): A full read-through of works up to 20k words with a detailed feedback letter.
The Full Manuscript: (Custom pricing – Contact for availability).
The "Fried Brain" Promise: I prioritize quality over speed. I only take on a few projects a month to ensure I give your words the focus they deserve.
