Oh, hey! This is Tiffany, and I'm your beta reader!

 

I'm also a six-time published author with a lot more to learn about the craft. I beta read six to ten manuscripts a year because it gives me opportunities to identify good and bad things about storytelling. It also allows me to help authors who need feedback on their writing before publication.

I'm here to share the feedback that I offer authors from all walks of the writing journey with you. Thanks for stopping by!
