Writing Critique Services

Why Work With Me?

I provide insightful, honest, and encouraging feedback
I have experience with speculative fiction structure and expectations, both personally (as a writer myself) and as a professional reader
I offer a balance of critique and praise (because both are important)
My notes are reader-focused and stay true to your voice

It doesn’t matter if you're prepping for agents, indie publishing, or just trying to write the best book you can, I’ll meet you where you are. My only goal is to help you make your story everything you want it to be. I know how vulnerable it can feel to hand over your work, and I never take that trust lightly. I work with new and experienced authors alike, and hope to help you take your project to the next level!

Writing a solid query letter can be overwhelming! Let me help you feel confident in what you’re sending out to agents.
Reader-focused evaluations of your manuscript are indescribably helpful for any author. 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 want someone in their corner. I’m there to talk things through with, help break through blocks, brainstorm, and boost confidence.

Narrative Traditions: The Stories That Shape Us
