I will provide alpha read of your story

As your alpha reader, I can help you uncover the diamonds in the rough of that early draft, highlighting what's working and what may need a bit more polish.

Hi, I'm Coda. I have a B.A. in Creative Writing and years of experience giving and receiving critiques from professors, classmates, and fellow writers. I understand how vulnerable it can feel to share an early draft, and I approach each project with care, enthusiasm, and a focus on helping your story grow.

As both a writer and an editor, I love helping authors identify the strengths of their work, clarify their themes, and strengthen their story's voice.

As your alpha reader, I will:

-Provide "big picture" feedback on what's working and what needs more development

-Identify strengths and weaknesses in character arcs, worldbuilding, story pacing, plot structure, and additional story elements

-Comment in the Word document

-Summarize my feedback and suggestions on how to approach revisions in a letter
