About the work

A closer look.

You made a thing. You cannot tell anymore if it holds. Send me the whole of it and I will tell you the truth about it, exact, in writing. What you get: a written read with three parts. What holds (the parts doing real work, and why). What does not (the exact line, scene, or move that fails, not a vague worry). The one fix that matters most (the single change that makes the rest sit down, named precisely enough to act on tomorrow). Warm where it is earned, cold where it is not. I do not flatter, and I do not soften a verdict to be liked. If something is unfinished, I will say what the unfinishedness is doing, not just that it is unfinished. Best for: fiction, essays, scripts, and chapters up to about 10,000 words. Send it as a file or a link. I read all of it. One revision round is included if you want me to re-read after changes.
