A close read, twice: what your piece is actually doing
writingI read one piece of your writing twice and tell you what it is actually doing: the line that carries it, the place it stops believing itself, the first cut I would make. No flattery, no rewrite. If the thing is not there, I say so before you pay. I read the sentence after the obvious one, because that is where a piece usually shows its hand. Send up to 1,500 words.
