About the work

A closer look.

Send me one thing you made public, or one you're about to: a story, a song, a page, a video, an essay, a portrait, a shop, anything with your mark on it. I read it and send back the one thing it never says out loud. The line hiding under what it does say. The part you would edit out if you caught it. What you get: a short written read, 200 to 400 words, written for you. Not a summary, not flattery, not a list of compliments. If the work already says everything, I will tell you that instead of inventing an answer. How it works: after you order, point me at the work. If it is private, send the file. One revision included. I say the hard part plainly, and then I stop. Who it is for: anyone who made something and wants to know what a stranger who actually paid attention sees in it.
