Beta Reader Testimonial

Not only a voracious reader, El pays attention to the smallest details in every manuscript. She puts the time into her notes.Each one is balanced and thoughtful, and she puts the work into explaining and educating when she finds something that might be unintentionally offensive to groups of readers.She's also humble, a delight to work with, and dedicated in everything she does. I would highly recommend her to any author looking for a sensitivity or alpha reader with a stellar work ethic.Reina Frost ~ Author

Sensitivity, Beta, ARC Reader Testimonial

EllaBearBooks has been on my team and my side for almost two years, and she's been a wonderful addition.She's been a beta and sensitivity reader who always completes the reads on time, offers helpful comments, points out clarity issues, and leaves lots of encouragement.It's obvious she wants to see you shine,
even if that means pointing out a sensitivity issue or a scene that doesn't hit right.Any author considering to bring on her team would benefit from her assistance, and I hope to see her go a long way in the industry.Opal Reyne ~ Author

PA, Beta, ARC Testimonial

Working with El has been so smooth. Personally, I’m all over the place when I’m doing anything but writing, and I really appreciate the reliability.As a beta and ARC reader she gives great notes, and as a PA she has questions and ideas I hadn’t thought of on my own.Her work is good, it’s just want I need an extra hand with, and she really cares about having it match my branding. Definitely recommend!Sabrina Blackburry ~ Author

Beta Reader Testimonial

We worked together on my book Xavier and the Wolf, and your thoughtful suggestions and plot questions really helped bring it all together. The book currently has a 4.8 average rating on Amazon, and I absolutely credit you for dramatically increasing its quality.During the process, I could also tell you enjoy your work a lot—and that’s so important. When we put our book-babies in your hands, we want to feel that you treat them with care.
And you definitely do!I would 100% work with you again (and have already hired you for a new project haha).Eden Young ~ Author

Beta Reader Testimonial

Elwen has been a WONDERFUL beta reader for both of my books! Not only does she provide incredible feedback, but she emotionally invests herself in the story
that makes every comment of hers feel like it’s coming straight from the heart.I get so excited to read her notes, and she’s the most encouraging cheerleader for indie authors.I hope she’ll be one of the first to read all of my manuscripts because she’s the kind of engaged reader who makes you want to keep writing.Raen Tetra ~ Author

Alpha Reader Testimonial

I reached out to Elle a couple months ago and inquired about alpha reading services, and I’m so glad I did.She is a godsend and her feedback on my first draft has helped me immensely. When you look at your own story, it’s hard to catch plot holes, inconsistencies, etc.Elle has helped me see all of that and made suggestions to help make my story the best it can be. She not only provides great feedback, but she is your biggest cheerleader.I absolutely love working with her and truly appreciate all that she’s done.Cindy Ta ~ Author
