I read your draft and create an Editorial letter, in which I advise you on how to make your characters more compelling, your theme more concrete, your dialogue more interesting, your descriptions more vivid, and your structure more dramatic. I help you to make your book align with the genre it is in, so that readers get what they want and come back for more. I also give clear and specific advice for how to solve issues like purple prose, wooden dialogue and plodding pace, directly on your draft.

- Marketing suggestions based on your genre and target audience
- Detailed in-text suggestions to help improve your story
