I'm Julian West, a 42-year-old beta reader based in New York City, and I've been working with books since 2005. With a degree in English Literature from Columbia University, my journey began in publishing as a freelance editor, but I soon discovered my true calling in beta reading. I specialize in helping authors bring out the emotional core of their stories, sharpen plot flow, and strengthen character arcs. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working across genres—from suspenseful thrillers to heartfelt contemporary fiction—always delivering honest, detailed, and encouraging feedback. If you're looking for a dedicated, experienced eye to help refine your manuscript, I'm here to help you make your story shine.
