Please note that English is the only language I speak fluently. But that's why I am contacted with translation-style requests. In these cases, authors have works in English they ask for help on (expressions, nuances, etc.).

When you book a read with me, we work together to elevate your piece, and you are in the driver's seat the entire time! I will always offer my opinion, but that does not obligate you to take it in any way.

My clients get a line-by-line read of their manuscript. I use my own eyeballs, not AI. I catch typos, plot holes, and little grammar errors. I also ask questions in the comments when something strikes me during the story.

This is one of my favorite parts about my job. Yes, I'm looking for typos, grammar errors, plot holes, etc. But when that plot twist hits? Oh... there's nothing better!
Is 2026 the year you're going to write your book? It won't write itself!

Years ago, when I began this business, I realized how unfortunately rare it was for authors to receive constructive feedback with actionable suggestions, all in a positive manner.
Remember, it's only a month or so to the new year!

My primary focus has always been gentle, constructive feedback. Does this mean that I will gloss over mistakes? Nope! Does it mean I'll tear your work to shreds? Also, no.
Find out what an extra set of eyes can do for your work. DM me! 😀

I tend to be pretty casual when it comes to my clients. I find that it creates a much better atmosphere when you take a team approach and work with someone you genuinely get along with. There is no application process here. If you're interested in a read, drop me a DM!
