From Week One: A Very Brief History of Crime

Description

Finally finished your story?

Want to test and improve it before sending it out?

Send me your manuscript of 80,000 – 100,000 words, the length most agents and editors want. Over the ensuing months, I will:

  • Comment on your characters, setting, point of view, pace, dialogue and more
  • Help you establish your narrative voice 
  • Pose questions about the plot structure and point out inconsistencies
  • Show you ways to heighten suspense by raising the stakes
  • Query your research and grasp of investigation
  • Help you cut the fat that inevitably exists in a first draft.

You’ll get chapters back in manageable chunks and revise while I read the next. At the end, I’ll read one full revision. The process typically lasts three-four months.
