Editorial feedback on a short work

. . .

Garner robust insight


In short work, as in poetry, every word takes on additional significance, plays a crucial role. From imagery and theme to the cadence of sentences — it’s all highlighted. And it all dovetails. Which means that editorial feedback on short work is particularly incisive and wholistic.

Perhaps the concision and intensity of short work is your forté. Perhaps you’re working on your skills with shorter work. Either way, professional feedback can help you in your journey to greater mastery of style and form.

Note that this is feedback on complete pieces. Not excerpted passages.
