Beta Reading is a great option for a lot of authors. A beta read is a straight assessment and review. The author with get a one-page write up, reviewing the manuscript and the continuity of the writing. Beta Reads are not as comprehensive as a Developmental Edit, but the turn around is usually pretty quick and a Beta Read might be the fresh look at your work  you need

What About Sensitive Subjects?

​

We are happy to consider most works of fiction and select non-fiction , including memoirs, biographies, and autobiographies.  If you think we might be a good fit for your needs but you are not sure if your manuscript meets our criteria, just ask.

Secrets, problems and messy lives make for interesting reading. Writing it all down, even in fiction, can leave writers feeling exposed and vulnerable. The Burnished Word is dedicated to creating a safe container to explore difficult content, without judgment, before it goes out to the public.
