Mandy B.

Beta Reader

I read like it’s my job— because it is! I average over 100 books per year and I would love to help you bring your work-in-progress closer to publication. As a dedicated beta-reader, I can promise a quick turnaround time and actionable feedback. I specialize in romance, especially contemporary and paranormal. I am comfortable reading and commenting on spicy, closed-door, or anything in between. But I have also happily worked on YA, cozy mysteries, horror, thrillers, memoirs, and more. You can expect: - clear and timely communication - adherence to all deadlines - quality work with attention to detail - a firm refusal to use AI in any form Let me know how I can contribute to your work becoming a success! I am a former teacher, a prolific reader, and a lifelong writer. I attended a performing arts school for Communications with a speciality in Creative Writing from 2004-2011 and graduated from the University of Florida in 2016 with degrees in English and Psychology with several published poems and writing awards.
