Comedy Drama Novel Beta Read

My completed manuscript sits at roughly 120,000 words and blends comedy with drama. I need a no-nonsense critique to give me feedback on everything from story, plot, characters, dialogue, narration, voice and how the story lands on an engaged first-time reader.

Here’s what I need from you:
• A marked-up digital copy (Track Changes or Google Docs comments) that flags moments where character development feels thin, plot threads lose coherence, or dialogue rings false.
• A concise report summarising your overall impressions of narrative style and pacing, along with notes on the general level of interest and engagement—what kept you turning pages, where momentum lags, and why.

I’ll deliver the manuscript in Word or PDF—whichever you prefer—and would appreciate your feedback within an agreed timeframe. Confidentiality is essential; the work is unpublished and protected by copyright. If you love testing story structure, sharpening character arcs, and balancing humour against drama, let’s talk and set a schedule.
