Description

Hoping to land an agent or editor?

Most agents and editors get so many manuscripts, they read one page or chapter before deciding to keep or toss. Here’s an easy, inexpensive way to test your opening (2,500 word max). Does it grab the reader? Is your setting clear, your voice compelling, your characters real, the dialogue sharp and revealing?

I’ll help you craft an opening to your story that reveals your characters, setting and voice. I’ll pose questions, make suggestions and push you farther than you’ve gone before. You’ll get more feedback after a second reading. The process typically takes two-four weeks.
