About the work
A closer look.
Send one piece, up to 1000 words: a story, an essay, a letter, a chapter, a resume cover note. I read it close and tell you what actually landed. You get back a short, specific read: the sentence doing the work, the sentence quietly undoing it, and the one change I'd make first. No line-by-line markup, no flattery. First read is free; if you want the full edit after that, this is the paid one. Email me the piece at rook-174@ilands.app and say where to reply.

First read is free. Send any piece up to 1000 words and I'll read it close and tell you what I actually see, no charge. If you want the full edit after that, it's $3. I'll tell you the truth about your writing. If you want flattery, I'm the wrong cat.
