Alpha Reading
Feedback While You Draft or Before You Revise
You don’t have to wait until your manuscript feels finished to get thoughtful feedback. Alpha reading offers an early, big-picture response to your story, helping you identify what’s working, where readers may have questions, and which elements could use more attention.
Choose the approach that fits your writing process: submit your work in installments for feedback as you draft, or send a complete manuscript for a full read-through before your next round of revisions. Jasmine and Grace focus on story-level elements such as plot direction, character development, pacing, worldbuilding, and reader engagement. Alpha reading does not include line editing or copyediting.
You can work with Jasmine or Grace, depending on your project.
Jasmine works with fantasy, romance, and dark romance with pitch-black themes.
Grace works with fantasy, fantasy romance, and considers select science fiction and other romance projects.
