About this Gig
Of all the chapters in your book, the first chapter is the most important. You want your first chapter to hook your reader immediately. I will read the first chapter of your story and create a detailed report with what I think worked, what didn't, and what you can do to hone it into a page-turner.
I absolutely love being able to help writers craft their stories into exactly what they want it to be, so I'm proud that I'm able to review your chapter from the perspective of a publisher, a writer, and a reader. Working as an acquisitions editor for 5 years, I know just what kinds of things publishers are looking for when they review your manuscript for the first time. And having been a writer for 15+ years, I know how to speak your language. I'm right there in the trenches with you. I'm also just an absolute book worm who can relate to your story purely as a reader.

Sci-fi/fantasy are my core genres, of any sub-genre and age group, but I accept any genre!
What's your editing experience?
I worked for 5 years as an acquisitions editor for 4RV Publishing and have freelanced since for several publications. I also served for 3 years as the president of the local Writers Guild, editing and helping to form budding writers.
What's your experience as a writer?
I published my first novel (Dragon's Heart) at age 12, and most recently published a collection of short stories (Red Leaf Falling) that placed "Finalist" and "Honorable Mention" in the Writers of the Future Contest.
What format do you need in the chapter in?
I can work with Word docs, google docs, and PDFs.
Do you use AI at all?
Absolutely not. Like many creatives, I hate AI. :) I do this because I love it. I ain't giving it to the machines to do it for me.

Such a simple statement: Your hook is not strong enough for commercial publication, I would say. I trust this reader's judgment her having worked as an acquisitions editor. Best $5 dollars I could spend. Highly recommended.
