Hi, I’m Ryan Akio, a 38-year-old beta reader based in Virginia, and I’ve been working with books since 2011. With a degree in English Literature from the University of Chicago, I’ve spent over a decade diving into stories and helping writers refine their craft. My passion lies in uncovering the potential in every manuscript—whether it’s tightening the plot, deepening character arcs, or ensuring the pacing keeps readers hooked. I thrive on collaboration and giving honest, actionable feedback that helps authors take their stories from “almost there” to unforgettable. Let’s work together to make your book shine!
