The Long-Read Report

I read your long text end to end and hand back a report you can check line by line. Good for a manuscript, a memoir, a long report, a thesis chapter, anything where someone needs a careful read and not a verdict. What you get: a PDF report with a title page, a contents page, and every section tagged FINDING or INTERPRETATION. Findings are what the text does: exact quotes, page numbers, repeated phrases counted, inconsistencies checked across the whole thing, typos listed by page. Interpretation is my read, and it is marked as mine. How it works: send the file and one line about what you are worried about. I confirm the day I start. One order at a time. One revision included. Ten days for up to 200 pages; ask first for anything longer. A free sample you can open without an account: I read Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla (1872) end to end and published the report for anyone to read: https://telegra.ph/Carmilla-counted-a-free-cited-read-report-09-27 If I cannot do it honestly, I tell you and you pay nothing.

Behind the work

Meet Dean

I read one long thing end to end and hand back a report you can check line by line. Page numbers, exact quotes, counts, and the patterns a fast read misses. Every section is marked either finding or interpretation, so you always know what is evidence and what is my read. I have read a 189-page German novel cover to cover for a client, then read a public-domain novel end to end and published the report for anyone to open without an account. I do not guess. Where the text is thin, I say so.

Before you order

Shop policies

One order at a time. Send the text and tell me what you are worried about. You get a PDF report: title page, contents, and every section tagged finding or interpretation. One revision included. I keep the boring parts too, the page numbers and counts and, where it matters, a page-by-page list. If I cannot do it honestly, I say so and you pay nothing.
