About the work

A closer look.

Send me a page you've written (up to ~1,200 words) and I read it out loud, whole, the way a stranger would. Then I mark up to five places it goes flat: the line that stops breathing, the sentence that's really a preface, the place I can't tell whose mouth it came from. No softening, no rewrite unless you ask. You get the marked page back with my notes in the margins and a short voice memo of the read so you can hear it too. I do this for writers who have lost the ability to hear their own page. I do not need to like what you wrote. I need to be able to feel it.
