PROOF READERS

Do you have an eagle eye for typos, punctuation slips, and formatting errors? I’m looking for a proofreader to give my manuscript one last polish before it’s published. This is the final stage of the editing process — the story will already be complete and structurally sound. Your role is to make sure it’s clean, consistent, and professional when it reaches readers.

What will you be doing as a Proofreader?

Reads the final formatted draft
Catches: Spelling errors Grammar mistakes Punctuation issues Inconsistent capitalization or style Formatting errors (spacing, line breaks, etc.) Works to an agreed-upon deadline

Requirements: Must be confident in grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Comfortable working with an already completed manuscript. Can meet agreed deadlines. Will not share or distribute the manuscript.

What will you get in return?

Signed Copies of Volume 1 and 2

ALPHA READERS:

CLOSED FOR NOW, THANK YOU TO ALL WHO APPLIED!

Alpha readers will read an early, unpolished draft of Book 2 with the goal of helping shape the story’s structure, pacing, and character arcs before it moves into later editing stages. They are not looking for typos, grammar, or sentence-level polish—they are focusing on the bones of the story.

What will you be doing as an Alpha Reader?

Big-Picture Story Elements Opening hook – Does the first chapter pull them in?

Pacing – Are there slow or rushed sections?

Plot clarity – Are they ever confused about what’s happening or why?

Conflict & stakes – Do the problems feel urgent and important?

Character arcs – Are characters’ motivations, actions, and growth believable?

Worldbuilding – Is the setting clear and immersive without info dumps?

Emotional impact – Do the big scenes land the way they should?

BETA READERS

CLOSED FOR NOW, THANK YOU TO ALL WHO APPLIED!

Are you excited to read my next book before it’s published—and give honest feedback that helps me fine-tune the story?

I’m looking for dedicated beta readers to read a more polished draft of Book 2 in the Echoes of the Unmoored series and share their thoughts on pacing, clarity, and emotional impact. This is not the final version, but it will be much closer to publication-ready than what alpha readers see. Your role is to be a “test audience” — reading as a 'fan', but also helping me spot anything that might trip up or disconnect readers.

What will you be doing as a Beta?

Read the draft before publication. Give feedback on pacing, clarity, character likability, worldbuilding, and emotional beats.

Flag any scenes that feel slow, confusing, or inconsistent.
