About this Gig

My creativity lives in the realm of SFF, my reading and writing bread and butter. As such, I want to help more authors excel in this space. I am well-versed in the tropes and conventions of the genre, so I can provide a clear eye on what works and what doesn't for a story. I can offer feedback on issues such as pacing, characterization, flow, world-building, and more. Please let me know if you have a specific concern you would like me to focus on and if you have a specific need for how I provide feedback (e.g. tough love, positivity pass, etc.). My goal is not to tell you what to do but to provide guidance and stimulate your creativity and passion. Content warnings are appreciated but not needed.

    I hate to be cliche, but when a cliche fits, I use it. Ellen went above and beyond on my book. Her attention to detail at every point in the reading floored me. I had a feeling something was wrong in my book, but she was able to put her finger on it and gave me a few ideas how approaching revising things.

    I previously had Ellen critique my second manuscript of a trilogy, and I was so impressed with her feedback that I had her critique my first manuscript too.

    Ellen provided a chapter by chapter critique and reader report of my manuscript, providing insightful and pertinent feedback. Her attention to detail, identifying those things needing work, and helpful suggestions and ideas will be of great benefit in my next editing round. Highly recommend. Thank you, Ellen.
