Stop! Get that first draft reviewed

$30/hr Starting at $100

As somebody who has been a writer and editor for the last 20 years, I can tell you that I've seen more writers take wrong turns between their first and second drafts than anywhere else. Did you capture what the editor assigned? Is the piece too wordy? Not clear? Will it resonate with the audience? Is the grammar and spelling correct? Sometimes writers get too close to the story and have blind spots for gaping holes...holes that can cause you to lose gigs. I'm willing to review your first draft, point out what you did well and what needs to be fixed. I'll help you out with ideas and make sure that you stay on the path to publishing!

Good job, honest, even blunt. But that's I paid for. I hear enough of "that was great. Next." I was looking for something a bit more - exact. He gave it
