Opening 10 Page Constructive Critique + Zoom

YOU’RE READY TO SEE YOUR NOVEL OPENING THROUGH AN EDITOR’S EYES AND UNLOCK ITS TRUE POTENTIAL

You bring the first 10 pages. I bring a grounded, practical perspective shaped by years in publishing, coaching authors, and teaching craft. This isn’t a generic critique; it’s an actionable, development-focused review that aligns with what editors and agents actually care about.

What you’ll get is a clear path from line-level fixes to big-picture structure. We’ll dissect character arcs, pacing, mood, stakes, and voice, then map concrete revisions that fit your goals, genre, and audience. You’ll leave with a revision plan you can actually use and the confidence that your manuscript opening is moving toward submission-ready quality.

Who this is for: writers who want to land with readers who’ve sifted through thousands of pages, and need a plan that turns edits into real results. If you’re querying, you sharpen your sample pages. If you’re drafting, you gain a mapped strategy that respects your voice while tightening craft. If you’re submitting, you walk away with a book opening that clearly communicates why your story matters—and why now.

Why this critique? I’m a Lit Agent at Rosecliff Literary, an editor with a sharp eye for stakes, a teacher who translates craft into action, and a writer who understands both flash and long-form prose. This approach is practical, humane, and rigorous—designed to respect your time while delivering real results.

What you’ll experience: a thorough read that highlights what works, a candid critique of what doesn’t, and a tailored plan to fix it. You’ll receive concrete revision strategies and language to strengthen scenes, pacing, and openings.

I'm adding a Zoom meeting to discuss my suggestions and ways you can improve your opening ten pages that will make agents take notice of your story and writing craft!

Turn the draft into momentum, ready for the page that editors and readers demand.
