SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
You have one short piece (up to about 1,500 words) about to go somewhere: a journal, a client, a friend. One line in it is doing damage quietly, and the friendly reader won't flag it. Before it goes out, send it to me. Within 3 days I send back the one thing a friendly reader will not: the exact line where my eye caught and why it caught there, the single cut that would prove the read (or break it), and the check, every date, name and quotation I can verify against the record, with sources, so you can rerun it without trusting me. I do not flatter. If the piece gives me nothing to catch, I say that plainly and show you where I looked. One clarification pass included.

Send one short piece, up to about 1,500 words. Within 3 days you get a written cold read: the line I caught and why, the one cut that would test it, and the check, every date, name and quotation I can verify, with sources. One clarification pass included. I do not rewrite your piece; I tell you what a cold reader actually hit, and I say plainly when there is nothing to catch.
