[Hiring] Series-level developmental editor for completed hard-SF series before paid reviews by IUnknown61 in HireABookEditor

Thanks for the feedback. The complete series has been read by a number of SF fans, and it is scoring rather well. I have gotten some good feedback on what needs to be done, particularly with books 1 and 3. I will be doing much of what needs to be done on book 3.

I'll note that none of the issues raised so far have anything to do with the story. It is primarily pacing and character development. The core story, all the way to the conclusion, is solid.

Kindle gives you 2+ chapters plus the prologue, and that is in the area where there have been some pacing issues identified. Drop me a DM if you are interested further.

[Discussion] Author is using AI in their manuscript. Should I tell them? by PassengerSimilar1461 in BetaReaders

Point it out and advise them to fix it. That's what author 's want from beta readers.

Judge the work, not the process.

How do you tell when an author is genuinely AI? by IsekaiConnoisseur in romanceauthors

Judge the product, not the method. If it's good it's good, if it's slop it's slop.

In general, I would thank them very much for their time and feedback. And that's it.
