Fiction
Noniction

Great writing begins with a well-formed idea plus a commitment to the long road of creating a first draft. It doesn’t have to be a lonely road. Thoughtful critique  can deepen the meaning of each revision.

As the prose strengthens, the message resonates. An author’s dedication and willingness to revise transform a good idea into a powerful, lasting written work.

Find your storytelling voice.

Readers are drawn in by events and entangled in story lines. There, the author’s voice leads them from page to page.

Planning

Planning can help you avoid the forest of forgotten themes and dangling plot threads. You can also breathe life into lethargic characters as you explore their emotions and backstories.

Regardless of the Second Eyes Services you choose, we recommend you take a few minutes to fill out the Talking Points Form. It’s free, and your responses will make any critique we share more relevant.

Your writing is ready for Second Eyes.
