FAQ
What qualifies you to critique horror stories?
I specialize in horror writing and have years of experience analyzing gothic, psychological, and literary horror. I know what makes a story truly unsettling and how to help it reach its full potential.
Will you edit grammar or spelling?
Light corrections may be suggested in comments, but this is not a full copyedit. My focus is on content, atmosphere, structure, and emotional impact. For proofreading, consider a separate gig.
Can you work with unfinished drafts?
Yes! I can provide early-stage feedback on scenes, concepts, or fragments to help guide your writing.
What file formats do you accept?
I prefer .pdf or Google Docs links. You will receive your feedback by .pdf.
Will my story be kept private?
Absolutely. I treat every story with full confidentiality. Your work will never be shared or reused.
