I help authors catch awkward wording, repetition, pacing issues, that can affect the reading experience. My goal isn’t to change your voice. It is to help your story sound like its best version. Your manuscript deserves a second pair of professional eyes. #writerthings

I’d be interested! I’m a beta reader and would be happy to hear more about your manuscript. What’s the genre, word count, and what kind of feedback are you looking for?

Congratulations on finishing the draft. Before you get too deep into revisions, a fresh reader’s perspective can be useful for spotting bigger story issues that are easy to miss when you're editing your own work. #amwriting #authors #writingcommunity #indieauthors #writing #fyp

Authors will understand this pain immediately 😂📚 Because why is writing a book basically emotional damage, overthinking, deleting, rewriting… and doing it all again? 😭✍️ Tag an author who needs to see this! 😂 #FunnyAuthors #AuthorLife #WriterLife #WritingCommunity

If reading books was like watching movies… I’d never leave my seat. 😂📖 Because when the book is good enough, you’re not reading anymore. You’re watching the whole thing in your head. 🎬👀 Book lovers, you get it. 😂 #writingcommunity #betareader #mattread #bookeditor

POV: You finally have the house to yourself, it starts raining, and your new book just arrived. Plans? Cancelled. People? Ignored. Responsibilities? We don’t know her. 😂📚 Just me, my book, and the rain. #MattRead #BookTok #Bookstagram #BookLovers #readersofinstagram

When people ask an author, “So, what’s your book about?” 📚 And suddenly… every word you’ve ever known disappears. 😂😭 The book is 80,000 words, but explaining it takes a whole different skill! ✍️😂 #FunnyAuthors #AuthorLife #WriterLife #WriterProblems #writingcommunity

Book lovers will understand this struggle. 😂📚 You walk into a bookstore telling yourself, “I’m just looking. At this point, the books are not the problem. My self-control is. 😂 #MattRead #BookTok #Bookstagram #BookLovers #Bookish
