Hello! I’m Selim. I’m a beta reader and journal designer who spends a lot of time thinking about stories, how readers experience them, and how small details change the feel of a draft.

I enjoy reading fiction and creative nonfiction, especially pieces that explore character voice, pacing, and emotional tone. I like being the “quiet reader” who notices what flows smoothly, what feels confusing, and what lingers after the last page.

On this journal, I’ll be posting:

thoughts on writing and storytelling

reading reactions (not reviews, just impressions)

notes from the beta-reader side of drafts

journaling and creative process updates

occasional discussions for writers and readers

This space will be calm and craft-focused — nothing flashy or promotional.
Feel free to follow, comment, or just read quietly. All are welcome here.
