Beta Reader for hire

Beta-readers assist authors in getting early reader feedback on the development of their stories. I specialise in young adult fiction, science-fiction and fantasy beta-reading.

Have assurance of quality, in-depth feedback with a professional beta-reader. I pride myself on meeting deadlines, because I know the importance of valuable feedback.

I have years of experience in book reviews, and developmental editing. This makes me someone who is eager to be in your corner, helping you perfect your work in progress!

I offer a free sample beta read of the first chapter of your book to give you an idea of the insights possible with a professional beta-read. Hone your craft and get feedback – fast!

I reached out to Steph Huddleston Writing while searching for beta readers for my partial manuscript of a science fiction novel. Steph’s critique of my manuscript exceeded my expectations in every way. She provided in-depth feedback on characterisation, plot, and readability. It is clear that she is a reader who is familiar with the genre, which is very important when hiring a sci-fi beta reader. As a new writer, the early feedback is invaluable, and I highly recommend Steph Huddleston Writing.

I am so glad I found Steph’s [beta reading service]. She helped me to identify the strengths of my work as well as its weaknesses with great suggestions for how to make improvements. I had been losing faith in the project but Steph’s feedback has encouraged me to keep working to make it the best that it can be. Thank you so much!
