BreanaBEditing strives to help authors get one step closer to their publishing dreams by providing developmental edits, manuscript critiques/evaluations, beta reading, and blurb and synopsis critiques.

Hello! My name is Breana. I have been an avid reader my whole life. My favorite genres are fantasy, romance, and sci-fi. I have known since I was in high school that I wanted to be a book editor. I have been providing these services for almost 3 years now. Helping authors has always been a dream of mine.

Thank you so much for your interest in my services. Fill out the form for a free sample edit and/or to order a service.

Which service do you want my feedback on? (If you're not sure, I explain underneath this question. Or you can send me a message in my contact form.)

A developmental edit includes 2 read-throughs, big picture feedback in an editorial report, and in-line comments for specific suggestions to improve your novel.

A manuscript critique includes 1 read-through and giving feedback on strengths and weaknesses in an editorial report.

A book synopsis or blurb critique includes providing feedback and suggestions in a document (or as in-line comments) to improve the synopsis for publishers (which includes every important detail of your story start to finish) and the blurb for readers (which includes a brief explanation of what your story is about so that readers can see if the book is right for them to pick up.)

Beta reading novels, poetry, and short stories includes 1 read-through, providing a reader report (and optional in-line comments), with feedback on what worked well and what could be improved, in my opinion, as a reader.
What’s the title, genre, and word count? Is a series or standalone?
What's your story about?
Have you written this book with GenAI? I do NOT work with authors who use GenAI.
How complete do you feel your novel is? Who is the story for and what do you want them to feel when they read it?
What questions/concerns do you want me to address?
For beta reading, do you want a reader report only, or do you also want in-line comments with my reactions/thoughts? Are you looking for serious, silly, or a mix of both when it comes to my reactions to your project in the in-line comments?
Would you like a free sample edit if you're interested in a developmental edit, manuscript critique, or beta read from me? You can either submit the first chapter below or send any part of your story up to 1,000 words. (This can be the last question if you are only wanting a sample edit.)

Are you comfortable signing a contract agreeing to the terms for both of our protection?
Are you comfortable paying 50% upfront and the rest after the work is completed? Or would you rather have a payment plan?
Which platform do you feel comfortable paying through, e.g., PayPal, Zelle, or something else?
Are you looking for frequent communication from me (for example: updates once a week or once I'm halfway through your project) or are you someone who only wants my feedback when it's completed?
