About this Gig

Let me offer both a reader's and a writer's perspective on your work. I know how hard it can be to share your writing with others, so I make sure to provide honest and in-depth critiques that are constructive, not destructive.


My focuses are on:

  • The Hook Does your first line grab me? Do the first few pages?
  • Characterization including motivation, development, consistency, and interplay
  • Dialogue For conciseness and flow
  • Pacing Scene, chapter, and book level
  • Setting, Atmosphere, and Worldbuilding Does the setting feel alive?
  • Plot and Conflict Are there any plot holes or inconsistencies?
  • Tone Does the tone ever feel at odds with the story?
  • Prose Including grammar, sentence syntax, and vocabulary


I provide in-line comments, a reader report, and a style sheet, and am happy to answer any additional questionnaires you submit. I also perform light editing (spelling mistakes, confusing sentences, distracting repetition, etc.) but this is not an editing service and comes as noticed. I also offer alpha reading services.


My specialties are Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Crime, and Romance, but am willing take on any genre. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

    Too many lol's written, it seemed a little too casual. Overall fine, I don't mind. Some good advice on what to improve and stuff about how characters pop in suddenly without introduction.

    6 Stars. Eric truly hops into the pages of your book. He hangs around in the world, interacts with the cast, checks the foundation for cracks, then reports back with a reader report that is more entertaining than the novel itself. He tracks character motivation, plot structure, and worldbuilding consistency...

    Eric's report was excellent. He not only provided a very detailed report but also in-line comments on the MS and a style sheet. It was clear he'd read the MS very carefully. Superb!

    Eric looked looked over my entire manuscript and again produced a very detailed and comprehensive report on it. In addition, he followed up with further comments on queries and observations I made. A real pleasure to work with and I very much hope to do so again in the future.
