About this Gig

Your opening hook and first chapter are among the most crucial parts of your novel. This is your chance to hook the readers to keep turning the pages.


I will provide a detailed critique of your opening chapter, focusing on:


  • Hook strength and opening impact
  • Character introductions and first impressions
  • Pacing and flow
  • Strengths and weaknesses
  • Clarity vs confusion
  • Reader engagement


As an avid reader and a writer myself, I know the pressure of the opening page intimately, and I've learned to take it by the horns and tackle it. My own work got longlisted for the ProWritingAid Novel Beginning Contest recently.

Whether you are in the thick of the drafting process, preparing for publication, querying agents, or are at the stage where you simply aim to strengthen your opening pages, I will provide honest, constructive feedback.
