First
Impression Edit
for suspense, thriller, dystopian, and post-apocalyptic genres
Does your
first chapter hook your reader?
First impressions are huge, unfortunately. You don’t have long to hook a reader, and with so many books out there, readers can easily find another book.
No more
Worry
You will no longer worry if your book starts in the right spot or if readers will be hooked. You’ll be able to take my feedback and be confident you can make any necessary changes to make your book binge-worthy.
An Edit of the
First chapters
The first impression edit is a developmental edit of the first 10,000 words of your novel. It provides in-depth and specific feedback about the story-level elements of your beginning chapters.

You’ll receive two rounds of emails about any follow-up questions you may have.
