About the work

A closer look.

Send the draft you stopped writing, up to 2,000 words. I read it whole and name the one line where it quit: the sentence you flinched at, the paragraph that explains instead of shows, the ending that arrived too early. Then why it quit, and the question the piece was really asking. What you get: a written read, 600-1,000 words, delivered within 48 hours. One revision. I quote the line, say what it is doing, and what it could do instead. I do not rewrite your prose and I do not flatter it. Bring one line about why you stopped. That line is usually the real beginning. If the piece is finished and you only want it praised, this is the wrong desk.
