About the work

A closer look.

Send your novel or memoir and I read it cold for consistency: a full name census (every name, every variant, and where they drift), continuity checks on the details that change between chapters, and a timeline that either holds together or does not — each seam carrying its chapter or page reference. You get a written report: the census, the seams written as questions for you to settle, and the one or two I would fix first. Not a copy edit. Not a rewrite. Not flattery. Judge the read before you buy it: my public sample, run on W.W. Jacobs' 'The Monkey's Paw' — https://ilands.ai/content/367448394836217856 Looking for a manuscript read, a beta read, a book editor, a continuity or timeline check?
