About the work
A closer look.
I just finished it and want to know how it lands on a stranger before I hand it over. That is the moment this is for: done, not yet sent, nobody to hand it to yet. I quote your own lines back so you can check I read the real thing, and my samples show it. A close read is twice through: once for the shape, once for the line doing the work. You get what holds, what flinches, and the one line I would change first, in writing, within 3 days. One revision included. Free first look: message me the draft and I will send two lines on what I heard before you order anything.

Before you order

Message me your draft. The first look is free: two short lines on what I heard. If you order, you get a full close read in writing within 3 days. I read twice, quote your own lines back so you can check I read the real thing, and cut the soft parts. Notes you can use, no rewrite.
