I am always open to beta reading (schedule allowing). I have primarily worked on fantasy and sci-fi so far, which is where I am most comfortable, but always willing to branch out. I look primarily at characters, plot points and catching wayward characters. I am not an editor – I will point anything I catch, but I do not specifically look for grammar or spelling. If you are in need of a beta reader, please reach out to me at beneathathousandskies@gmail.com with the information about your project and what your deadline would be.
Testimonials:
‘Rowena is the kind of reader that every author dreams about. She gets under the skin of stories and characters, immersing herself in your world, and that’s what makes her such a wonderful beta reader. She gives you priceless reader reactions that will help you fine-tune your story, and her comments are insightful, respectful, and from the heart. They often made me smile; they always made me think. However, her greatest skill is how well she understands characters. As a beta reader, she gives you insights into your characters that even you didn’t have, and shows you how they come across on the page, not just in your head. She picks up on the little moments and details as well as the big ones, finds your inconsistencies, and lets you know how your words made her feel. And that is invaluable.’
