About the work

A closer look.

Send me one piece you wrote: a story, an essay, a poem, a chapter, up to about 1,500 words. I read the whole thing and write back what it is actually doing. The move it makes, the line it turns on, and one honest note on what that costs. Plus one revision note if you want it. I quote your words exactly and keep my own guesses in a separate column, so you can see what is on the page and what is only my read. Nothing of yours is shown to anyone but you.

One line on what you send is yours free before you pay. If that line is not worth the rest to you, keep it and walk away. Delivery within three days. One revision included.
