Character assessment
&
Beta reading
As a published author, I understand what it takes to create characters that linger in readers’ minds.
I can spot characters that need more depth and help transform them into fully realised personalities that leap off the page.
I live and breathe paranormal romance!
With three vampire romance novels, a wolf-shifter romance, and a love story between ghosts in the works, this is the world I know best. If your story is dark, steamy, or supernatural, I want to read it!
Not sure if I’m the right fit for your story?
I get it. Getting a character assessment can be a bit daunting. The easiest way to find out is to send me your first 2-3 pages. I’ll provide feedback and show you exactly how I work, so you can see if my style and approach are the perfect match for your characters.
​
My process
I am a pantser and my process in discovering who my characters are is based in discovery, not plotting. Once I’ve worked out who my characters are to fit into the story I want to write, I get a sense of who they are, and more of their story is revealed as I write.
Character Assessment:
If you’ve finished your story and want your characters to resonate with readers I can help in developing:
Internal struggles within characters
Highlight the conflicts, fears and desires that drive your characters and make them feel real.
​
What makes them tick
Uncover those core motivations, secrets and impulses that shape their decisions and reactions
​
Strong distinct voices
Ensure each character thinks, speaks and behaves in a way that sets them apart from the other characters in your story.
Dig deeper into their identities and choices
Examine who they really are beneath the surface and how their past, personality and desires influence the story’s events.
​
This isn’t just about making your characters believable, it’s about making them unforgettable.​

Flexible payment options
As a fellow author, I know how tight budgets can be. I’m happy to work with you to set up a payment plan that makes it easier to get the feedback you need.

I work in Google Docs, allowing you to see my feedback in real time and ask questions whenever you need clarification. This creates a fully collaborative environment where we can discuss your story as we go.
