Beta Read

A beta read is for you if you want a reader's honest take on your manuscript.

I'll provide constructive, supportive feedback in the form of in-line notes and a follow-up report. Here are just some of the genres I specialize in:

• Sci-fi/fantasy
• Mystery
• Historical fiction
• Memoir
• Business book
• Popular science
• LGBTQ+ fiction
• Literary fiction

I bring years of experience as a writer and editor, so I know what readers expect from each genre and what traditional publishers are looking for.

Rates start at $200 USD (up to 60,000 words).

Here's what clients say:

"Saul provided detailed and thoughtful feedback on my novel. His inline comments and final report were clear, constructive, and encouraging, striking a strong balance between what worked well and where clarity or structure could be improved. He especially helped me see how readers might experience the pacing and style choices, while confirming that the story itself was compelling. I highly recommend him to any writer looking for a thorough and professional beta read."
