Testimonials
Rated ⭐️5/5
“Hannah was wonderful to work with throughout this project. She provided thoughtful, detailed beta feedback across both stages of the manuscript, with helpful observations about characters, pacing, worldbuilding, plot development, and overall reader experience. Her feedback was honest, specific, and gave us valuable insight into how the story was landing from a reader’s perspective. She communicated professionally, followed the project instructions carefully, and completed both milestones ahead of schedule. We greatly appreciated the time, attention, and care she gave our manuscript and would happily recommend her to other authors seeking a thoughtful beta reader.”

“Highly recommend!! My manuscript was pretty messy when I handed it over, and now it’s damn close to perfect. She was very easy to work with, fast and picked up on a lot of subtle things. Will certainly be back!”

Rated ⭐️5/5
“Hannah was very helpful! She left comments of her thoughts as the story progressed and provided an overview after each chapter, getting me to think about my story from a reader’s perspective which was very insightful. She was a good balance of complimenting things that were good and critiquing things that needed improvement, which is what you want in a beta reader! She paid attention to specific things that I asked her to and gave me a very detailed list of her thoughts and things to focus on to improve the story/make things clearer for readers. She also made some very helpful suggestions for my punctuation. I hadn’t had a very positive experience with beta readers until Hannah, and she was very dedicated in reading my manuscript, for which I am grateful. Having a beta reader is a very useful experience (especially as a first time author) so I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for one!”
