“In the end, they gave me really in-depth feedback on all of my characters- they noticed some things I myself hadn’t realised I’d done with my characters. They really went in-depth on why they liked/didn’t like them (if they were antagonists) commented on their psyche, and how I showed their personalities and traits.”

"I was surprised that they were so immersive in the beta read, and the in-line comments that Quinn made were pertinent. It was another voice that I needed and I did cut a few things out of the final manuscript upon their opinion. You'll be sure that Quinn will be 100% committed. I was very happy with the services provided and will be back in the future!"

"Quinn is both a prompt and skilled reader and editor alike. They helped me greatly with a very last minute request and were extremely accommodating to my needs, which I greatly appreciated. Besides that, they have an absolutely amazing eye for detail and offered really well-explained feedback during line-edits and throughout. I can't recommend them enough! If you'd like your story to shine, and to have the best hype-person along the way, trust Quinn with your words."

"Working with Quinton has been great! They're amazing at spotting details and go into a lot of depth with the report, I can't wait to begin working on the feedback. I loved reading their in-line comments and reactions as the story went on. Seeing them so engaged and excited about a project I love and poured energy into is a new kind of excitement. I'm looking forward to working with them again!"

"Quinton's attention to detail highlighted so many small errors and artefacts from previous drafts, and their comments were a joy to read! After a year of re-reading Take The City I had begun to feel as if the novel was boring, but their enthusiasm re-ignited my own passion for the story and it's characters. Working with Quinton was a treat!"

"Quinton is thorough and safe. No matter what is going on in your manuscript, they manage to explain things in such a lovely and clear way that you know what is wrong. You don't feel dumb or childish. No matter how simple that mistake might have been. Quinton is there for you and your story. The comments Quinton leaves will also make you fall in love with your story all over again and let you know you made some pretty great decisions as a writer no matter what that imposter syndrome might tell you."

"Quinton is a joy to work with! They are very detail-oriented and thorough. Their enthusiasm made me want to jump back into edits immediately. I looked forward to the in-line comments everyday. Seeing the way they perceived my characters and world in the final developmental report made me emotional. If you need a beta reader or an extra set of eyes on your story, Quinton is the one to go to!"

"Working with Quinn on my novel was such a great experience! They made a lot of comments, suggestions and fixed all errors. They were extremely helpful thanks to their opinions and ideas to improve my plot and characters' development. They also helped me with my query letter and I have a feeling it's a killer now. I highly recommend Quinn! Thank you so much and I hope we'll get to work together again on my next book :)"
