why choose me?
- Story flow & pacing (does it drag or move too fast?)
- Character development (are your characters believable and emotionally engaging?)
- Plot clarity (are there confusing parts or plot holes?)
- Emotional impact (do the scenes actually hit the reader?)
- Romance chemistry & tension (is it believable, intense, or flat?)

Ongoing collaborationClara has read for me across several books now. She names the mechanism, not just the symptom — not only that her attention slipped, but that a reflection had stepped out of the room to explain what the scene already showed. And she is more apt to tell me where I moved off something too soon than to tell me what to cut.
