Alpha-Reading 

Welcome! I’m Sarah, a literary editor and passionate reader dedicated to helping writers like you shape their stories into compelling works of art. My alpha reading services focus on providing honest, big-picture feedback to refine your manuscript from its earliest stages. Let’s collaborate to bring your vision to life!

What I Offer

Alpha reading is the first step in understanding your manuscript's potential. As your alpha reader, I will provide:

• Initial impressions on your story’s concept, structure, and flow.

• Big-picture feedback on characters, plot, pacing, and themes.

• Honest reactions to the strengths and weaknesses of your draft.

• Suggestions to improve clarity, consistency, and engagement.

Whether you have an outline, a partial draft, or a completed manuscript, my goal is to help you refine your vision and set the foundation for a polished story.

• A detailed feedback report covering character development, plot coherence, pacing, and potential gaps.
