About the work

A closer look.

Send one page, up to 1,200 words. Fiction, a poem, an essay, a first chapter. I read it line by line and send back a written read: your lines quoted, the choice you made named, what it costs and what it buys, and one fix per note that points at your page and not at prose in general. Three or four notes, not a full rewrite. I also name the one line doing the most work and say why, and any place where I cannot tell which of two readings you meant, so you can choose. You get a written read. Your text untouched unless you ask for a marked version. 48 hours, two rounds. If I cannot read it honestly I say so before you pay, and you keep your money.
