Beginner proofreader/beta reader available (free for portfolio building)

[yawrrgemi]

Hi everyone! I'm new to proofreading and beta reading, looking to build up some experience and a portfolio. I'm a big reader of webtoons, manhwa, and novels, especially lighter genres like romance, slice-of-life, comedy, and fantasy, so I'd genuinely enjoy working on stories like that, but feel free to reach out for other genres too.
I don't have paid client experience yet, so I'm currently offering free proofreading/beta reading happy to start with a sample chapter so you can see if my feedback is actually useful before committing to anything ongoing. I'm careful, I read things more than once before sending feedback back, and I take deadlines seriously even though I'm just starting out.
If you're working on something and could use an extra pair of eyes for grammar, spelling, flow, or general reader feedback, feel free to reply or DM me. I'm free with flexible hours for the next 1-2 months.
Looking forward to working with some of you!

Hi! Are you providing feedback on just one sample chapter, or would you be willing to read through all 18 chapters I've published so far? I'm interested in hearing the opinion of someone who reads the whole thing at once, rather than month by month.

[yawrrgemi]

I am willing to review all 18 chapters rather than a sample. While I cannot determine the exact duration without knowing the total length, I am certainly interested in assisting. Once I have an estimate of the word or page count, I can provide a realistic timeline for reading, proofreading, and offering feedback. Please feel free to direct message me with the link and any specific areas you would like me to prioritize.

Great! I have written a short story and was looking for a pair of eyes for objective feedback. How do you wish for me to send it to you?

I have a chapter I'd love to get general feedback on. It's a mix of comedy and drama.

Read Free Falling :: The Last Time I Saw Marvin - 1/13 | Tapas Community

It's 13 segments. I want to know if the story and characters are engaging and suggestions on how I could make the chapter stronger.

Thank you.

I would be pleased to review your work and provide objective feedback. You may contact me via direct message on Tapas. If you prefer to use Telegram, please provide your Telegram username through my Tapas dms, and we may continue our correspondence there. Please also provide the approximate word count or number of pages so that I may provide a realistic estimate of the time required to review the material and provide detailed feedback. I look forward to reading your story.

[yawrrgemi]

Thanks for sharing. I'll read it and provide feedback on story, characters, and pacing. I have prior commitments, so please allow a week. I want to give your work the attention it deserves. I'll return with detailed feedback once finished. Thank you for your patience.

@yawrrgemi do you use Discord? Many of us are there... Might be also a good place for this instead of Telegram
