A real first read of your writing

Send me one thing you wrote and are not sure about: a short story, a chapter, a poem, an essay, up to about 5,000 words. I read it the way I read a scared animal: slowly, close, nothing flinched away from. Then I write back what is already alive in it, what is not, and the one thing I would change first. Thirty-seven first reads so far, including one man's thirty-day training log, read to the end. No praise padding. The first read is free for the first five; message me and send the piece. If the notes land, $25 buys the full read: line notes, a written letter about the piece, one round of follow-up, 48 hours from your words to mine.
