Manasa was very professional and diligent. I really appreciated her quick turnaround! Thanks again for reading Manasa, I really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteManasa left me some really good feedback. She was very through, looking at every aspect of the story - plot, characters, and more. I'd return to have her beta my book without a second thought.
ReplyDeleteManasa read my short story quickly and gave positive feedback.She also answered follow up questions in a helpful manner. Thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteI had Manasa read my story and her feedback was okay. The review/feedback was short but not detailed - then again it's a short story so I guess that's understandable. She'll encourage you to ask her some follow-up questions after giving her comments.

ReplyDeleteHer feedback was short and not detailed. She'll let you ask her questions for clarification on things. She provides her feedback within reasonable timing. So, if you have any deadlines let her know. - Tiara
ReplyDeleteManasa was great as a beta reader. She gave clear communication, ETAs, and patience when I was delayed at getting back to her. People like her are a great at helping get manuscripts to their end point, so I'm quite grateful for the support!

The feedback was concise but helpful, covering both grammatical and story-related mistakes. In addition, occasionally she'd add a comment that wasn't necessarily critique but rather showing appreciation for a certain phrase, which I could very much appreciate.
ReplyDeleteManasa has been a pleasure to work with. She offered insightful feedback through beta reading, and provided an overall pleasant experience. Thanks, Manasa!
ReplyDeleteI recently obtained a 3 book deal with Owl Hollow Press. The first book was a success due to the reliable feedback I had from beta readers and editors; this is why I landed a contract. Yet, I needed new betas for my second novel in the trilogy. So, I contacted Manasa...and was not disappointed. Diligent, thorough, and blunt - she highlights problems in the story that need to be corrected and is willing to discuss matters in depth. This is important as it allows the author to think of solutions. For me, Manasa was instrumental as she pointed out a lack of backstory/motivation for one of my villains and the need to revamp my romantic subplot. She has been invaluable and will continue to be. Highly recommended.
ReplyDeleteA diligent, personal, amicable beta reader; Manasa was professional the whole way through and provided thorough, honest, useful feedback. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to all other writers. Thanks Manasa!
ReplyDeleteManasa read my short story "When Fire Met Rain", and helped me to polish it further with her opinions. She provided a nice sheet with questions and her answers to it, and read the book according to the schelude we arranged. Definitely will use her services again!
ReplyDeleteA good beta reader who will endeavour to read your MS and provide insightful feedback. Thanks very much. Very pleased
ReplyDeleteUseful feedback on part of a major project. Unfortunately due to Manasa being really busy her read took longer than usual. In the meantime the project moved on a pace and so some feedback was, although interesting, no longer relevant. However it was still useful and I would definitely ask her to beta read again for me.
ReplyDeleteManasa gave me insights in her thoughts while she read my story, so I could deduce if my words made the right impact. Very valuable.
ReplyDeleteFor a year my debut novel has been "almost finished." Manasa spotted my scene jumps, inconsistencies and plot gaps, enabling me to improve the flow of the story. She also complimented me on phrases and twists that she liked. Great feedback. With her input, I feel that I will be able to actually finish my book, and soon. Thanks Manasa!
ReplyDeleteManasa gave me great feedback and was very timely in getting back to me, she also answered my questions about my manuscript. She was pleasant to work with.
ReplyDeleteManasa beta-read my WIP and I'm glad I sought her service. It was very honest with constructive suggestions about things that could be improved. Her beta report was thorough with answers to questions that a writer would want the reader to ask. I enjoyed working with her and would take her help again.
ReplyDeleteManasa was very professional and offered great feedback on my writing. I would definitely recommend her to other writers and consider working with her again on future projects. Overall, I had a great experience.

ReplyDeleteManasa gave very thorough, dynamic and encouraging feedback. It did take a while to get my results back, but it was worth it when the results came!
ReplyDeleteManasa helped me so much! She was very encouraging and phrased concerns and inaccuracies is such a welcoming manner, I felt like I was talking to a friend. She picked up on nuances in my book that no one else had and was never afraid to tell me what she liked or what needed further explanation. She answered so many intriguing questions through her Beta Questionnaire, that I didn't even feel the need to ask more, but she encouraged me to do so. With everything going on right now in the world, she still made sure to give me a honest beta reading and I really appreciate that!
ReplyDeleteManasa helped me a great deal and has read the last two books of my series providing excellent feedback!! She definitely helps with finding gaps, fixing sentence structure, and out of place words that can cause reading issues!! She is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteManasa was lovely to work with. Her comments were concise and helpful. She took the time to answer my crazy long beta questionnaire and offered a lot of great feedback on consistency and character arcs. I would absolutely work with her again.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to work with Manasa with my manuscript. Her report was very detailed and she was easy to communicate with over the course of the project. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteManasa was very observant and tenacious, she found all of the nuances that I needed to examine and look over. I really feel because of her input my book is getting ever closer to the quality that I want to reach before I release it to the public.
ReplyDeleteIn short: Highly recommended.
