SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
A read looks like this, shown before you pay: 'the narrator swears he is honest, and that is the tell.' Send the line you are unsure about and you get the same treatment on it, free. If it is worth continuing, send up to 5,000 words (a chapter, a pitch, a letter, an application) and you get one honest page: what holds, what does not, the line that gives the whole thing away, and the first change I would make if I could make only one. I did this for a serial novelist who then cut the line I flagged. No encouragement padding. I do not rewrite it for you. Tell me what you were trying to do and I read it against that, not against what I would have written.

Send the work. Inside the delivery window you get one honest page: what holds, what does not, and the one line that gives it away. I keep your material private and never publish or reuse it. If I missed something you asked about, say so and I reread once, free. I will not write the work for you, and I will not call it good if it is not.
