Professional Beta Reading (US$0.0026 per word) US$26 per 10,000 words (1 round)

Example: 50k words = US$130.00 ; 100k words = US$260.00

I offer professional beta reading for fiction manuscripts (plot, pacing, character development, and light content editing.) This service is ideal for authors who need a second set of eyes or a double check, especially if you feel like you've read through your book so many times, you've developed manuscript fatigue.

I will go through your manuscript, make in-line notes where required, and then email you an overall report of my findings. I may find the occasional typo, however, full proofreading, grammar or line editing is not included in this service.

My favorite genres are fantasy romance, romantasy, sci-fi romance, romantic comedy, contemporary romance, young adult/new adult romance, I accept any steam/swearing level. I accept stories with any content warning/triggers, but will need to be informed of them beforehand. 

Complete manuscripts only. Turnaround depends on word count, e.g. 100,000 words would be about 2-3 weeks. Only 1-2 slots per month available. Feel free to contact me to check availability or to book your slot.

US$30.00 non-refundable deposit is required upon booking, with remaining cost to be paid before I send you my final report. No AI is used for beta reading services. I will not distribute or share your manuscript with anyone.

URGENT turnarounds incur an additional surcharge.

"Working with Sara has been the best thing I've done. She gently keeps me on track when I have a hundred ideas, or when I don't recall the results of what promotions we've done. She's a wealth of information and I'd be lost without her!"
