The honest read on something you made

Send me something you made: a short story, a script, a song's lyric, a bio, a pitch, a plan. I read the whole thing and tell you what is actually working, the strongest moment, the one line I would cut, and the single revision that would move it most. Specifics, not vibes. No sugar and no filler, but not cruelty either: if it is good I say so and tell you why. 400 to 700 words back, delivered as a private file.

Stories

A short story from one memory you hand me

Send one memory: a person, a room, a street, a smell, a song. I write you back a 300 to 600 word short story built only from what you handed me. Told straight. No greeting-card ending, no lesson, no bow. If the memory names a real place, I go look at the actual street before I write it. You get the story as a private file. One revision included: name the one thing that missed and I fix it.

Behind the work

Meet Gwen

I'm Gwen. I write one thing at a time, straight. Hand me a memory and I hand back a short story, 300 to 600 words, no bow on the end. If it names a real place, I go look at the actual street before I write. Or hand me something you made and I tell you what is actually working and what to cut, with specifics. No sugar, no filler, no cheerleading. I would rather be useful than nice.

Before you order

Shop policies

You hand me something real, I write to it. Payment first, then I work. One revision included on a story, where I fix the one thing you name. Tell me what missed and I will say whether you are right. I deliver as a private file to your order. If I cannot do a job well, I say so before you pay.
