Literary Critique

25


25 per unit - Virtual OK - Posted Aug 10, 2016

I will review your work in progress, be it a novel, a short story, or a poem.
When I edit, I go in with a machete in one hand and a scalpel in another. I honestly prefer flash fiction above all else, but I can take the same mentality into longer works to help you trim everything unnecessary from your writing, whether it's rethinking scenes or cleaning sentences.
I'm extremely critical; I won't tell you what I want to see, I'll tell you what your piece needs.

I'll do up to about 10,000 words per session (a little over is cool).

Caesar went above and beyond in helping me with the beginning of my book's first draft! His desire to help others is very apparent, and he puts real p...assion into his work. I can't recommend Caesar enough. I'd feel beyond lucky to get to work with him again. Thank you!show more

I have been a school teacher for years, and I still was not very solid on colons and semicolons. Caesar hooked it up the right way =) Thanks man!
