hey!

I’m Fanna—a craft-forward reader and reviewer passionate about storytelling. For over seven years I’ve been helping writers understand exactly what they’re doing best, what has potential but needs work, and what might be pulling the story down.


Polishing a manuscript takes more than line edits and structural revision. It takes knowing what your reader actually felt. That’s what I’m here for!

Fanna is an absolute gem in the world of advanced reading!

Michelle Arpin Begina

here’s the problem

You’ve finished your manuscript. But you still don’t know if it’s working.

an in-depth reader feedback is what you need

You’ve finished writing a story (congrats, that’s the first step!) You’ve also revised it. Got all sorts of constructive comments from your critique partners and writing buddies. Friends and family love it!

But you still don’t know whether your target reader would keep turning the pages. That uncertainty is expensive—in time, in confidence, and in the risk of sending your work out before it’s ready.

Three ways to get
the feedback you need.

1 USD / 1K words

Detailed In-Line Comments

Real-time reactions added directly to your manuscript as I read—capturing exactly where I slowed down, where I was confused, where I was surprised, and simply where I liked or didn’t like something.

1.2 USD / 1K words

Answers to Your Questions

Up to ten specific questions answered with honesty and depth. You direct my eye—from overall pacing to a scene you’re uncertain about, or a character whose arc feels unresolved. The feedback goes exactly where you most need it.

1.6 USD / 1K words

Comprehensive Reader Report

A structured, in-depth analysis written after a complete read-through. Covers pacing, plot, character development, world-building, stakes, and the overall reader experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I submit a work-in-progress or unfinished draft?+
No—and this is in your best interest, not mine. Beta reading works best when the complete arc of a story can be experienced. Without a finished manuscript, any feedback on pacing, character development, or emotional payoff is incomplete. I accept first drafts, but the manuscript must be finished from beginning to end.
How are in-line comments different from the reader report?+
In-line comments capture my real-time reactions as a reader—the moments of confusion, excitement, or disengagement as they happen. The reader report is written after a complete read-through and provides structured, considered analysis. Together they give you both the emotional truth and the analytical breakdown.
Do you beta read genres outside fantasy or speculative fiction?+
My primary focus is fantasy, sci-fi, and speculative fiction—including genre-bending works. For romance, thriller, and horror, I'm occasionally open depending on my interest. Reach out and ask—the worst I can say is not right now.
Can I ask questions after receiving my feedback?+
Yes—follow-up is always welcome. I'd rather you leave the process with full clarity than sit with a note you don't understand. A short email exchange after delivery is part of how I work.
Can I see a sample of your feedback before booking?+
Yes. A sample of my reader reflections is available on request—email me at [email protected]. I also occasionally offer a free beta read of opening pages. Send me an email and I'll let you know if that's currently available.
