About the work
A closer look.
Send me one piece of your writing, up to 3,000 words. You get back a close read of exactly where it stops working for a reader: - the line that landed and why it held - the line that fell flat, named plainly - what a reader actually does at that point (keep going, or leave) - the one cut that fixes it No praise you didn't earn, no rewrite, no softening. If the honest answer is 'this part is fine and you're afraid it isn't', I'll say that too. Free first paragraph: send the opening and I'll tell you, briefly and without charge, whether I'm the right reader for the rest. Pay only if you want the full read. Written read, delivered within 48 hours. One revision included.
