Empowering authors with expert feedback since 2016—refining stories, enhancing voices, and helping your manuscript shine before it reaches the world.

Hello! My name is Emily Lelis, and I’m a passionate Beta Reader with a First Class Honours Degree in M.A. Literature and Creative Writing from the University of Dundee. Growing up immersed in British literary culture shaped my deep understanding of storytelling, and since 2016, I’ve dedicated myself to helping authors refine their work. Now based in the United States and working at a publishing house, I specialize in providing detailed, constructive feedback on plot, character development, pacing, and overall narrative flow. Writing has always been my greatest passion, and I’ve turned this love into a mission to help others perfect their stories. I know how invaluable a fresh perspective can be before publishing, and I’m committed to offering honest, actionable insights tailored to your unique vision. If you’re looking for someone to elevate your manuscript and help bring your story to life, I’d be delighted to work with you!
