Every Story Has Blind Spots
Personalized feedback that shows you exactly what they are.
Here's how we work together:
Is This For You?
You're in the right place if:
- You've finished a draft but aren't sure if the story works
- You're stuck and need clear direction for your next revision
- You want a deep, honest assessment before publishing
This might not be the fit if:
- Your draft isn't ready for another pair of eyes
- You're looking for line editing, copyediting, or grammar fixes
- You're not ready for honest, direct feedback
Your draft doesn't need to be perfect but it should be clear enough to read and follow.
Genres I Work With
I work with Middle Grade, Young Adult, New Adult, and Adult fiction across the following genres:
- Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic/Alternate World
- Mystery/Thriller/Suspense
- Crime/Detective
- Adventure & Coming-of-Age
- Urban Fantasy
- Contemporary Fiction
Not seeing your genre? Email me- I might still be a good fit.
Sounds Too Good To Be True?
With everyone on the internet trying to make a quick buck off the next person, why should you trust me?
I get it.
Handing your manuscript to a stranger on the internet isn't easy.
You've spent weeks, months, maybe years working on your story. The last thing you want is to pay for feedback that feels generic, rushed, or disconnected from the actual reading experience.
You're probably wondering:
- Will the feedback actually be useful?
- Is it specific to my manuscript?
- Is a real person actually reading my work?
- Is it worth the time and money?
Here's why this is different:
-
1. Free sample read (first chapter)
You can request a free read of your first chapter. If the feedback doesn't resonate with you, you've lost nothing and gained useful reader insight. -
2. Available reports from previous clients
You can request sample reports to review the depth, structure, and style of my feedback. -
3. I'm a writer too
I've received feedback that was insightful, feedback that was frustrating, and feedback that completely missed the point. I built this service around the kind of feedback I always wanted to receive: specific, honest, and genuinely useful.
What Authors Are Saying
"She found every flaw I didn’t see - from character inconsistencies to plot holes - and my work is so much better for it."
"It was like giving me a lantern to light a dark path. Now I know where to go next and why I'm going there."
"I was stuck on plot and pacing issues for months. After her critique, I could see exactly what was working and what was not. Absolutely invaluable!"
