FAQ
Do you offer publishing help?
While I have anecdotal knowledge of the publishing industry, this is not my specialty.
What do you focus on when you read a manuscript?
My feedback on manuscripts includes both line commentary and holistic feedback, depending on which package you purchase. Line commentary focuses on issues such as word choice and sentence-level clarity, not issues of grammar or spelling. Holistic feedback pertains to character, plot, conflict, setti
What is the best stage of the writing process for me to seek a Beta reader?
I recommend a Beta reader only after you have generated a complete draft with a full beginning, middle, and end. I am available for single chapter readings via a separate gig.
I've never had a critique of a creative project before. What's the point?
Feedback is helpful for all creative works. My goal is to assist you at any stage of the writing process and help the work become as polished as possible. My aim is to identify both the strengths of the piece (what is working well) and the areas in need of improvement.
What if you just don't like my writing? How will that help me?
Providing effective feedback involves setting aside taste in order to examine a work objectively. I rely on the tools I have acquired through my extensive education, training, and experience to do this. It's always an honor for me to be trusted with another writer's work.
Do you use AI tools at any point in your process?
No. I never use AI tools. I want you to receive the full benefit of my knowledge and expertise.
