An Alpha Read is the first round of feedback a writer receives—often before the manuscript is polished or even complete. At this stage, the story is still taking shape, and major changes are not only expected but encouraged. My role as an Alpha Reader is to provide honest, objective insights to help you refine your ideas, strengthen your story, and move confidently toward the next phase of revisions.
What You’ll Receive
Since every writer approaches the Alpha stage differently, I tailor my feedback to your specific needs. As I read, I will:
- Offer real-time reader reactions – Highlighting what works, what feels unclear, and moments that stand out.
- Identify areas that need development – Including plot structure, pacing, character arcs, and overall story flow.
- Deliver a detailed Reader’s Report – Summarizing key strengths, weaknesses, and providing actionable suggestions for improvement.
Why Work With Me?
I believe in supportive yet constructive feedback—guiding you toward a stronger manuscript without diminishing your creative voice. My goal is to help you shape your best possible story by offering thoughtful, actionable insights.
