Line editing insights on a passage

. . .

Train the lens in closely


Looking to get a taste of what fine-level sentence work amounts to? Looking for feedback on your writing style, your writerly voice, at a fraction of what the work could otherwise cost? A careful line edit of a short excerpt from a longer work can give you all that and more, for pennies a word. A modest investment in cost, a deep investment in your work.

This is close-in sentence work. Not an evaluation of the overall structure or trajectory.
