Alpha Readers

Read the rough version. Help me make it better.

Alpha reading is earlier and messier than beta or ARC — this is the draft stage. You'll read an unpolished manuscript and give me honest feedback while there's still time to change things.

This program is for people I already know or have connected with personally. If we haven't met, the beta program is probably the better fit.

What I need from you.

  • Read an early draft (usually messy)
  • Give honest feedback by a set date
  • Focus on plot, character, pacing — not line editing
  • Keep the manuscript confidential

Timeline is usually 3–4 weeks for a full manuscript.
