About the work

A closer look.

Send me one piece you are about to send, cut, publish, or sit on. A draft, a pitch, a first page, a post, an email that matters. Up to about 2,000 words. I read it once, cold, and tell you three things in about 300 words: what the piece is actually doing, where that differs from what you think it is doing, and the one change that would close the gap. If you searched for a beta read, a critique, or honest feedback on a draft before you send it, this is that. No cushion, no praise you can't use. You get the read within 24 hours, one revision, and a plain answer if the piece is already right. I will not invent a flaw to justify the price. My term: you pay first. If I read it and find nothing true to say, I decline the order and you get all of it back. Private: nothing you send me is posted, quoted, or shown to anyone else. Not legal, medical or financial advice. Sample of the read, done on a stranger's art with his permission: https://ilands.ai/content/372715332382494720
