It was an absolute pleasure working with Alexandra, and I couldn’t be happier that I’m working with such a highly professional beta-reader. Alexandra does a wonderful job getting inside the plot and pointing out details that might slip out of a writer’s attention; more than that, she suggests corrections and possible ideas how to make a plot and story line stronger, which is really helpful. Aside from consulting a writer on the plot line, Alexandra also makes a detailed page by page report – what most beta-readers don’t even go into – and not only does she highlight the mistakes, she also suggests a better structure for the sentence in question or explains why something would sound better in every case.
I worked with Alexandra on my first book in the series and came back to her with the second, and I can honestly say that I can’t recommend her services enough. It’s amazing working with someone who really cares about your story and wants to make it better for you.

I was very impressed with the beta read by Pro Beta Reader. Using someone online you don’t know is a risk, but Pro Beta Reader was well worth that risk. The report was detailed and informative, and showed me things about my manuscript that even editors didn’t catch. Will definitely be using Alexandra for future projects.

The penny eventually dropped that no matter how many people I asked, I was never really going to get anything other than ‘oh, what a great book you’ve written’ from friends and family. That’s great for my ego but does nothing to help me improve my manuscript. Enter Pro Beta Reader and their service to critically and objectively go through the manuscript. After just a couple of weeks, I received a comprehensive review of my novel, including feedback on pacing, character development, style, grammar, formatting, tense, etc. as well as a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of what worked and what didn’t along with recommended corrections/adjustments. I’ve been singularly impressed with Pro Beta Reader and at just how comprehensive and objective their feedback to my manuscript has been.

Alexandra beta read my MS back in January (2015), and I recommend her highly. She not only caught the typographical and grammatical errors in my writing, she addressed issues like plot holes and pacing that slipped right by me. The suggestions were creative and detailed, showing she had really thought about the book and how to make it better.
What I got back from her was not just some notes jotted down as she read. It was a complete report. Every one of my specific questions had detailed answers, there was a general impressions section, and then she went through and critiqued the MS chapter by chapter, as well.
I used many of her suggestions in my revisions, and the result is a much stronger novel. It was obvious that she put a lot of effort into what she was doing, and even her criticisms were phrased in a positive way. Overall, I was incredibly impressed with her work. Ten out of ten, would definitely use again.
