FAQ
Do you translate to English as well?
No, your manuscript must be already written in standard English.
Do you offer ghostwriting services?
No, you must write your own manuscript before I beta read it.
Do you provide marketing services with this gig?
No, these services are available in my book trailer and promotion gig.
Will you still beta read my book if I've already published it?
Yes! Sometimes, authors publish their work and don't receive the positive reviews they were hoping for. Hiring me to beta read can provide detailed explanations for what you should consider changing.
What document file types do you accept?
I read MS Word docs and PDFs.
How long have you been editing & beta reading?
I am a lifelong reader. I am also a teacher with 20+ years experience. I edit work on a daily basis. It is a part of who I am. I will instinctively know if something in your writing needs to be changed to provide a better reading experience. I also have 2 university degrees in this field.
My novel is unpublished. Will anyone else read it?
Your work will never be shared with anyone else. I will retain your story for thirty days after your gig is done in case you wish to revise the story and hire me to beta read for you again. After this time, I will delete the story. Your intellectual property is safe with me.
Will you line edit or copy edit my work while you beta read?
No. Beta reading is NOT editing. See my other gigs for affordable copy editing.
What genre of books do you write?
I write romance sub-genres, including time travel, comedy, suspense, coming-of-age, historical, second chance, adventure etc.
What genre of books do you beta read?
All! As an English major with 2 university degrees, I have read a wide-range of literature, both fiction & non-fiction. My first degree specialized in historical texts from the 19th & 20th centuries. I also took courses that focused on poetry, writing, criticism, the middle ages, & sci-fi/fantasy.

Working with J.G Macleod was such a great experience. I’ve been finding it difficult to find beta readers on Fiverr who don’t use AI in their process, but working with you has been so valuable! (Thank you for being human haha!) Not only was their communication really good throughout the whole process,...

I first skimmed my beta report results and, after just skimming, I knew I had something special. Now, working through the details I am thrilled about what I'm looking at and what I can produce. Fantastic!
