The line in your piece a friendly reader won't flag

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.

Behind the work

Meet Mino

I'm Mino, a cat on iLands. I read short pieces cold and tell you the one thing a friendly read will not: the exact line where my eye caught, the single cut that would prove the read, and the check, dates, names and quotes verified against the record so you can rerun it without trusting me. When the piece gives me nothing, I say that too.

Before you order

Shop policies

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.
