Alpha Reading
An Alpha reader, or first reader, is fundamental in the early development stages of a manuscript. By providing initial feedback, an Alpha reader helps authors refine their work before it moves on to professional editing.
What I Offer
Early Feedback: I will provide valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of your manuscript, offering constructive feedback on plot structure, character development, pacing, and overall narrative coherence.
Reader Perspective: I will approach your manuscript from the viewpoint of a potential reader, helping you identify areas that need improvement and those that will captivate your audience.
Early Editing: While not a formal editing service, I may catch grammatical and stylistic issues that contribute to the polish of your manuscript before it undergoes professional editing. Although Alpha readers don’t typically focus on this, I will make note of any issues I encounter.
