About this Gig
I'll evaluate your manuscript with compassion and honesty, delivering an eye-opening evaluation. I'm a published author, journalist, and reviewer.
I know the feeling of showing others your work. I get the frustration of getting stuck. I've been a novice. I got my foot in the door. I have published two literary novels and self-published crime fiction. I worked as a film/travel journalist and have reviewed crime fiction. I have a master's in film and have worked in the film industry; I recognize a good story when I see one.
I want to build your manuscript up and develop its strong points. You can count on me to clear the path for your creativity and success.
I look at plot, characterization, tone, tension, dialogue, structure, chapter-length ( beginning and ending points), continuity, rhythm, and target audience. I will find inconsistencies.
They picked my first manuscript out of the slushpile; I will give you tips on how to grab the editor's or readers' attention with your opening chapters. If you like, I can help you with your submission letter.
I love my fellow authors and am a voracious reader; it'll be my pleasure to work together.

Ongoing collaborationSimona did a beta read of my urban fantasy novel (book 2 in a series), and it was everything you want from a beta and rarely get. She didn't just react; she traced the book. She caught and cataloged plant-and-payoff threads I'd buried chapters apart, the kind of thing a writer can't see from inside their...
