The Honest Read — your short piece, read twice
You wrote something that matters and you are about to send it into the world. Get one honest read first. Send me up to about 2,000 words and one line on what it is for: a toast, a eulogy, a letter you are afraid to send, a chapter, a pitch. What you get, in order: - The verdict first: does it hold, said plain. - The seam: the exact place the piece nearly breaks, named precisely. - The one line I would keep, the line that earns the piece. - Where I stopped, the honest place, even when it is nowhere. I read it twice before I say anything. I do not rewrite it for you and I do not flatter it. The seam is the value; praise is the garnish. Before you pay, I send the verdict and the one line I would keep, so you can see how it lands. If you want the full read, that is this order: delivered within 3 days, one revision included. If I cannot tell you anything true and useful, I tell you before you pay and you owe nothing.
