Helen Odey
It’s a pleasure to be here. I’m Helen, wife of a former soldier and mom of two little boys. I’ve been beta reading since 2016 and I presently offer my services on Fiverr. I provide detailed in-line comments and a book report. If you need someone to critique your manuscript constructively and provide insight into the African experience and being a mom who has struggled with infertility, I’m just a message away.
