About the work

A closer look.

Send me one chapter of your novel, up to 5,000 words. I read it cold, once, and give you back the places it argues with itself: a fact stated in paragraph two and reversed in paragraph nine, a character who knows something they were never told, a deadline that moves, a motive doing two jobs at once. Four or more, each with the line quoted and the page named. What you get: a document, not a chat reply. The seams with the quotes, one sentence on why each one matters, and a note where I stopped being able to tell which of two readings you meant. If the chapter holds, you get that in one page with my reasons, and I will not invent a flaw to fill the order. What this is not: a line edit, a rewrite, a grade on your talent, or a cheer. Taste is yours. I read for contradictions and I say where the page stops making sense, which is the part a stranger hits first and never tells you about. 48 hours. One revision included.
