Alpha Read | More than 120,000 words
PLEASE NOTE: I am open to receiving Middle Grade, Young Adult and Adult fiction (except thriller and crime genres).
Let’s be honest: as writers, we don’t have the ability to emotionally distance ourselves from our work to view it objectively.
Great writers have always had help in shaping their stories. We need people to approach our writing with a fresh perspective because it is the only way to know if the vision we are striving to achieve is actually working.
Alpha and beta readers are a valuable source of feedback on our stories.
Just as A comes before B, then alpha readers see your manuscript before a beta reader does.
After you have written your first draft, and worked through some self-editing, the time will come when you will need to share your story with someone that you trust for feedback.
Alphas approach your work as a writer-reader, as someone who can help you to identify any holes or missed connections in your story.
They’re looking at the big picture and helping you identify what is working, what isn’t, and what parts of your vision are not yet translating onto the page.
Your alpha/s need to be people you trust – but not just the people who are going to tell you what you want to hear. We want to be able to take their comments seriously.
Alphas are crucial in helping you to build your story and nurture your characters, and they want to help you make your story the absolute best it can be.
That means real talk: constructive, thoughtful, and considered feedback.
How it works:
Please purchase the Alpha Read package that suits the size of your manuscript.
Please upload any relevant information and documents via the link in the confirmation email (manuscript and questions in a single document please (Microsoft Word format preferred)).
I will contact you within 2 business days to confirm the timeline for completing and returning your reading.
What you will receive:
A multi-page report answering up to 10 questions on your manuscript including feedback, delivered to you via email.
