Beta Reading Calls

I invite readers to support feedback and development of my work.

Focused Draft Feedback Call

A focused conversation to help you see your draft through a reader's eyes.

A More Personal Way to Develop Your Draft

Share the work, questions, or sections you would most like to discuss. I will read with attention to the experience of the intended audience and come prepared to talk through what feels clear, compelling, confusing, or unfinished.

The call gives you space to test ideas aloud and consider possible revisions in real time. You will leave with a clearer sense of the draft's strengths and the areas that may benefit from further development, without losing sight of your own creative direction.

Ideal For

  • Writers preparing a new draft

  • Authors seeking reader perspective

  • Projects with a specific development question

  • Anyone wanting thoughtful conversation about their work

How It Works

  1. Share Context: Send your draft or selected pages along with the questions you want to explore.

  2. Talk It Through: Meet with me for a focused discussion of the reading experience and your intentions.

  3. Identify Next Steps: Gather the key observations and revision possibilities that emerge from the call.

About

A Thoughtful Reader

I bring a writer's attention, a careful ear, and a genuine interest in how stories connect with readers. My feedback is considered, honest, and grounded in the experience of engaging closely with a draft, from its larger shape to the moments that stay with me. In a beta reading call, I offer a responsive conversation about your work rather than a distant set of notes. I can help you hear what is landing, identify where a reader may lose focus, and explore possibilities for revision while keeping your intentions at the centre.
