First Five Pass (Brutal)
Are you worried that your friends are just being nice about your work because they like you? Looking for a genuine, unbiased opinion from an experienced writer who doesn’t know you?
I will read your first five pages (up to 2k words), clean, with no knowledge of the query or synopsis, and provide invaluable feedback about the reader experience (voice, tone, genre, expectation). I will give you my honest OPINION on these pages from an industry perspective, and what I personally would change based on my experience and knowledge. This includes two passes (the initial pass and the revision). The initial pass consists of line editing (heavy, if necessary), cutting, poking and/or prodding, with the ultimate goal of providing you with a polished opening for agents and readers. The second pass will be a read of the revision, with a 15-minute call to discuss thoughts OR an edit letter, whichever you prefer.
