Alpha Reader: Literary Fiction Novel

I’ve completed a literary-fiction manuscript and need a fresh, critical eye on its pacing and structure. Rather than copy-editing or proofreading, this pass is about tempo—where the story drags, where it races, and how the chapter architecture supports (or undermines) the emotional arc. You’ll receive the full draft in either Word or Google Docs—whichever lets you leave inline comments most comfortably. I’d like your full set of notes back within 2 weeks. Deliverables • Inline margin comments that flag slow spots, abrupt shifts, or structural hiccups • A brief report (2–4 pages) summarising overall pacing, chapter flow, and any big-picture restructuring suggestions • Optional: a chapter-by-chapter snapshot highlighting highs, lows, and proposed scene moves (appreciated but not mandatory) If you’ve alpha-read literary work before and enjoy analysing rhythm and narrative architecture, I’d love to hand the manuscript over and hear your thoughts.
