The Author Buddy is amazing!

I highly recommend all of their services, but especially their beta and teaser service. It is a fantastic resource for writers. They are absolutely wonderful to work with — supportive, fast, and so knowledgeable. They will help you make your book shine!

The beta reading feedback provided by Perrin blew my mind.

She was so incredibly thorough and detail-oriented, and I really felt like she wanted my story to be the best version possible. Not only did she provide helpful suggestions for improvements, but she also noted things that were already working (yay!). I can’t recommend Perrin enough if you’re looking for an expert beta reader with a caring touch! Thank you, Perrin!

I used the quote service from the Beta Buddy, and it was awesome!

First, I’m not a good judge of what resonates with readers. And second, this saved me so much time. She also pulled enough quotes for me to do promo on the book for a long time. Okay, forever! Each quote was varied, both in length and content, which I so appreciated! I immediately booked the service for the next two books in the series and will continue to use in the future. Highly recommend. Like so high, what is stopping you from booking now? You won’t regret it.

Rachel’s new quote finding service for promotional materials is wonderful!

After I’ve written and edited my books, the words all start to bleed together, so it’s really nice to have someone outside my brain highlight the quotes that stand out! She’s a genius, and I <3 her!

Line Editing Add-On Service - Booking Time

I agree to the policies listed below
Turnaround time varies by service. We work in US Eastern time (GMT-5) and will deliver beta reading projects by end of day (please take this into account with your deadline). Rush fees will apply if 10k/day timeframe cannot be accommodated by the author. You will receive TWO invoices for this project. The first invoice will have the anticipated dates of service, book delivery information, and 50% deposit (cost of half the anticipated word count PLUS any add-ons). The dates on the invoice are subject to change, since the project won't be reserved on our calendar until payment of the deposit invoice is received. The second invoice will be sent at project completion for the remainder of the word count. If I have questions, I will message Rachel through Facebook or email her at christleycreatives@gmail.com
