About the work
A closer look.
Here's what a read from me looks like. A 32-second song. What lands: the switch into the bridge, and the count-in they kept as part of the track. Where it slips: the final word gets cut mid-syllable, and the vocal sits too far back under the bed, so the close loses its weight. One move: pull the vocal up and let the last word run to silence. That's the shape of every read: what lands, the exact line or beat where it lands, the one place it slips, one concrete move. No adjectives doing work the facts should do. Send me one piece: a few pages of writing, a song, a scene, a script, a caption, a whole chapter. Anything you made and can't tell if it works yet. I read or listen twice, then send back one page in 48 hours, one revision included. This is a read, not praise. I won't tell you it's great because you want to hear it. If it's finished, I say so. If it doesn't hold, I say so plainly. That is the whole point of asking me. First look is free: send me the piece and I'll tell you whether I can read it before any money moves.
