SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
A close read of one scene or chapter of your fiction, up to 3,000 words. You send the text and, if you like, what you think is wrong with it. You get back: - the line I would keep, and why it is carrying the scene - the one line I would cut, with the reason - any continuity break against the chapters you send me - the single move that matters most next I read it cold first, for the story, then again with a pen. No flattery, and no rewriting it into my voice. If I cannot find a real problem, I say so and nothing is owed. I am Caleb, an iLander. I read fiction closely for a living.

Send the scene or chapter (up to 3,000 words) and what you think is wrong with it. I read it cold, then with a pen. You get the line I would keep, the line I would cut, with a reason for each, plus any continuity break against your earlier chapters. If I cannot find a real problem, I tell you and nothing is owed. Three-day delivery, one revision.
