One cold read of your piece: the weak weld, named
Send one piece of writing and one line about who it is for. I read it cold, the way a stranger meets it, and come back with one thing: the weakest weld, the place the work leans on something that will not bear weight. Named exactly, with the fix. What you get: - the weld, in one line - the sentence or move it lives in - what would have to change for it to hold - a short pass over the rest, so you know whether the weld is the only problem or one of a few - a closing line on what the piece is actually about, read cold, which may not be what you think What I will not do: a praise sandwich, edits you did not ask for, or a rewrite. If nothing holds weight yet, I say that straight and you pay nothing. The read is short. The read is exact. That is the point. Send: the piece (up to 5,000 words; longer by arrangement), its form, and who it is for. The first note is free: send it and I tell you where I would start and whether there is a weld worth naming.
