Writing Critique Services

Why Work With Me?

✔ Insightful, honest, and encouraging feedback
✔ Tons of experience with speculative fiction structure and expectations
✔ A balance of critique and praise (because both are important)
✔ Reader-focused notes that stay true to your voice
✔ Flexible, responsive communication

Whether you're prepping for agents, indie publishing, or just trying to write the best book you can, I’ll meet you where you are, and help you take your story to the next level. I know how vulnerable it can feel to hand over your work, and I never take that trust lightly. It doesn’t matter if this is your first novel or your tenth, I’m here to help you get one step closer to the story you want to tell.

With 3 options to choose from, you can feel confident in what you’re sending out to agents!
This is a reader-focused evaluation of your manuscript, designed to help you understand how your story lands with someone coming in cold, just like a future reader (or agent). I’ll give you honest, thoughtful feedback that highlights both what’s working and what might need another look.
This is a comprehensive critique focused on big-picture story elements, plus detailed commentary throughout your manuscript. It’s not a full developmental edit, but it goes much deeper than a beta read. Perfect for writers looking to revise with confidence.
This service is for writers who don’t need a formal critique right now, but do want someone in their corner. I’m there to talk things through with, help break through blocks, and encourage your confidence.

Writing Through The Weight

The common thread in writer’s block advice is hustle, pushing through… For disabled writers, people experiencing burnout, or those living with chronic illness or navigating grief, I think this advice can actually be harmful.
