📚 Looking for authors open to a free beta reader / proofreader / editor!

Hi! I'm Maria - a passionate reader and aspiring fiction editor looking to build real experience and grow my portfolio.

If you're working on a story in English or Bulgarian and would like honest, detailed feedback (for free!), I'd love to help. I offer:

✨ Beta Reading - feedback on pacing, characters, plot, emotional impact
✨ Proofreading - grammar, spelling, and punctuation corrections
✨ Light Editing - improving clarity, sentence flow, and overall readability

🌍 I'm fluent in Bulgarian, English, and Chinese (though I don't offer editing in Chinese). My strongest work is in romance, fantasy, dark romance, and teen fiction, but I'm open to other genres too!

I don't charge anything - in exchange, I'd just like to be able to list the project as editing experience in my portfolio (with your permission).

If you're interested, feel free to DM me or leave a comment! I'd be happy to discuss your project and send a sample of how I work. 😊
