  • Username: raywilson
  • Genres/tags that interest you as a reader: sci-fi, high & low fantasy, urban fantasy, romance, thriller, comedy
  • Hard passes: extreme angst, PC with severe mental illness
  • Time commitment: minimal, one or two reads a week with notes given
  • Specific qualifications that would help authors (eg: you use a screen reader): I am best equipped for proofreading (grammar errors, spelling errors, coding errors, etc.) OR developmental edits (more high-level notes on character and plot development, pacing, thematic impact/weakness, etc.). I have worked in editorial for a publishing house and freelancing previously, so very comfortable with giving thorough, actionable feedback
  • DMs welcome!
